The Republic of Oslasa47 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, ubiquitous missile silos, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.498 billion Oslasa47ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 59.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Oslasa47ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,685 trillion francs 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, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, 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 224,820 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.
People who stay late at the office often come home to find their own funeral being planned, the men in trenchcoats hanging around playgrounds are actually police officers, shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned, and citizens seem fixated on 105m x 45m rectangles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oslasa47's national animal is the falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Oslasa47 is ranked 115,544th in the world and 2,075th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 328.71376184528 days.
