The Brave New World of Osimiria is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Innocent Perikeme Arnold with a fair hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.96 billion Osimirians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nnukwu Ulo. The average income tax rate is 96.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Osimirian economy, worth a remarkable 1,856 trillion olaochas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 207,153 olaochas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Barbers who trim a few inches of hair bill the government for their labor, foreign policy is to avoid standing up to bullies, dinner parties often end in politically charged fist fights, and stuttering trypanophobes are doomed never to marry. Crime is totally unknown. Osimiria's national animal is the black panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is onwunso.

Osimiria is ranked 326,834^th in the world and 341^st in The League for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -16.25 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
