The Ionic Compound of Osmium tetroxide is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, cynical population of 1.125 billion OsO₄ molecules 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 large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.3%.

The very strong OsO₄ economy, worth 54.9 trillion electrons a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. Average income is 48,798 electrons, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

The government officially wants you to slow down and speak more clearly, popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs, diplomatic missions typically end with a flurry of childish insults, accusations and phlegm, and a niche industry catering to S&M enthusiasts has sprung up. Crime is moderate. Osmium tetroxide's national animal is the proton, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Osmium tetroxide is ranked 235,582^nd in the world and 12,887^th in Osiris for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -4.9 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
