The Technocracy of Ozzy is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Radiant Aegis with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, digital currency, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 26.923 billion Ozzalonians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ozboro. The average income tax rate is 97.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Ozzalonian economy, worth a remarkable 8,352 trillion Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 310,244 Marks, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,297,209 per year while the poor average 48,363, a ratio of 26.8 to 1.
The latest national park is visited by more sharks than people, Big Agriculture has the government by the nuts, drivers are told they're not staring at mobile phone screens enough, and air purifiers fight smoke machines on Ozzalonian stage setups. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ozzy's national animal is the Orange and white cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is a major religion.
Ozzy is ranked 8,098th in the world and 3rd in The Empire of Friendship for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,804.15 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
