Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Most Serene Republic of Osick is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Captain Regent Sith Tur-Anom with an iron fist, and renowned for its ritual sacrifices, parental licensing program, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 17.689 billion Osickians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 42.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Osickian economy, worth a remarkable 1,592 trillion tryts a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 90,004 tryts, with the richest citizens earning 6.7 times as much as the poorest.

Sections of the police receive paramilitary training, the government sends submarines to retrieve bodies from shipwrecked submarines, government debts are financed through alchemy, and official maps have to be revised on a weekly basis. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Osick's national animal is the water vole, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is the Church of Osick.

Osick is ranked 92,925^th in the world and 454^th in Europeia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 66.78 law-abiding acts per hour.
