The Republic of Oslasa28 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, public floggings, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.607 billion Oslasa28ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 57.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Oslasa28ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,535 trillion kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 201,850 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists, morale within the seismologist community has hit rock bottom, children who display even minimal sporting aptitude are immediately assigned a personal trainer, and national park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oslasa28's national animal is the leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Oslasa28 is ranked 14,810^th in the world and 944^th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 94.39 law-abiding acts per hour.
