The Republic of Oslasa29 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, state-planned economy, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.558 billion Oslasa29ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 68.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Oslasa29ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,765 trillion rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 233,573 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Diplomatic fallout tends to be much more dangerous than radioactive fallout, metal detectors at school gates make sure that teenagers are carrying at least one sidearm, military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description, and most believe it doesn't hurt to embrace free trade. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oslasa29's national animal is the swan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Oslasa29 is ranked 115,527th in the world and 2,065th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 328.72460211612 days.
