The Republic of Oslasa55 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, zero percent divorce rate, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.48 billion Oslasa55ians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 85.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Oslasa55ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,005 trillion kronor a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 268,091 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.
Leader's exquisite office door is replaced monthly due to angry petitioners, couples kissing on the street are detained for 'unlawful exchange of genetic material', pilots always remember to send their doctors a Maxxmas card, and war memorials have been modified to include hammocks for napping. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oslasa55's national animal is the elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Oslasa55 is ranked 115,539th in the world and 1,795th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 328.71195629088 days.
