The Expanding Desert of Cudreobar is a mammoth, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 9.771 billion Osirans 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 32.1%.

The Osiran economy, worth 455 trillion rubledollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Basket Weaving, and Soda Sales. Average income is 46,573 rubledollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, Harry Potter books are banned, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and it is illegal to brush crumbs off your clothing outdoors. Crime is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cudreobar's national animal is the hawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Cudreobar is ranked 251,241^st in the world and 1^st in Cudreobar for Least Corrupt Governments, with 91.33 percentage of bribes refused.
