The Jingoistic States of 0siris is a titanic, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working population of 21.863 billion 0sirisians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 22.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The 0sirisian economy, worth 931 trillion Deneroes a year, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Pizza Delivery, and Book Publishing. Average income is 42,583 Deneroes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is compulsory, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, and the government's official position on invasive species is 'who cares?'. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 0siris's national animal is the Python, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

0siris is ranked 113,262^nd in the world and 1^st in 0siris for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,378.65 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
