The Frozen Shores of Oosik is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working population of 4.727 billion Oosikians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The relatively small, liberal, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.3%.

The strong Oosikian economy, worth 236 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 50,003 dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 274,652 per year while the poor average 4,627, a ratio of 59.4 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem. Oosik's national animal is the swan, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Oosik is ranked 284,781^st in the world and 5^th in Iceland for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 8.33 Effective Tax Rate.
