The Saklahani Oysterepublik of Oesterlund is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Oystergod with a fair hand, and renowned for its parental licensing program, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.867 billion Oesters are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kronekerstadt. The average income tax rate is 70.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Oester economy, worth 185 trillion thalmarks 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 dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 99,261 thalmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's a long jump to get onto the housing ladder, the question of 'what is Oystergod's favorite color?' has been given a priority rating of burnt-orange, a child's only Trickster Night scare is the sight of their parents dancing, and Kronekerstadt spends billions upgrading public transport. Crime is totally unknown. Oesterlund's national animal is the stallion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Vopiscanism.

Oesterlund is ranked 32,809^th in the world and 53^rd in Aesica for Most Developed, scoring 82.12 on the Human Development Index.
