The Republic of Oslasa50

“From Many, One”

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

The Republic of Oslasa50 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its aversion to nipples, disturbing lack of elderly people, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 7.717 billion Oslasa50ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 23.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Oslasa50ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,488 trillion marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 192,888 marks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 572,672 per year while the poor average 50,967, a ratio of 11.2 to 1.

Prison is a nightmare, prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries, prisons are filled with the cackles and sobs of a deranged inmate population, and a referendum must be held in order for any new law to be passed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oslasa50's national animal is the leopard, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Oslasa50 is ranked 280,127^th in the world and 10,726^th in Lazarus for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -10.97 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
