The United Confederacy of Osagh is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Rakyatupemedur Rashida Kahvan with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, ban on automobiles, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 11.73 billion Osaghians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Palar Kardanu. The average income tax rate is 99.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Osaghian economy, worth a remarkable 3,036 trillion serads a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 258,894 serads, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every day has been a surprise since weather reporters turned to consulting ancient totems for their seven-day forecasts, the latest guided missile cruiser "Ship-1642" has received precisely zero column inches in the press, foreign 'investors' have been taking a great interest in the new secret shuttle, and lip-readers are often left perplexed by political rallies. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Osagh's national animal is the panther, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Osagh is ranked 926^th in the world and 8^th in The Social Liberal Union for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 142.14 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
