The Ice Cream Fanatics of Oseao is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, sprawling nuclear power plants, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 895 million Oseans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 20.2%.

The all-consuming Oseanic economy, worth 81.8 trillion Yumas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 91,435 Yumas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Getting an infected tattoo is considered a rite of passage in Oseao, the Oseanic Arts Council pays teenagers to sit through opera performances, Leader has no checks and balances after the upper house was abolished, and parents seeking custody have to write a five-thousand word analysis of their child's imaginary friend. Crime is totally unknown. Oseao's national animal is the Bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Oseao is ranked 139,801^st in the world and 39^th in Starlight for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 1,323.2 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
