The United States of Oswington is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Bess with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 2.758 billion Oswingtonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oswington City. The average income tax rate is 94.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Oswingtonian economy, worth 346 trillion Oswingtonian Dollars 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 major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 125,753 Oswingtonian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The wealthiest parts of the country receive the most government spending, many friends and relatives of Bess have been given ambassador jobs in tropical island nations, the nation has an international reputation for compassion, and 10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oswington's national animal is the Capybara, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.
Oswington is ranked 294,061st in the world and 4,787th in The East Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 5.78 Obesity Rate.
