The OIS-0095 of OIS Spirit is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Avakael with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 3.265 billion OIS Spiritians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of OIS-5164E. The average income tax rate is 39.4%.

The powerhouse OIS Spiritian economy, worth 349 trillion Halicarnassuses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 107,103 Halicarnassuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, 4-year-olds are often found reminiscing about the 'good old days', liberals and conservatives try to disqualify each other's candidates on the grounds that "their ideas would never work in the real world", and the police strictly enforce off-limit zones for tourists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. OIS Spirit's national animal is the White Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cruor.

OIS Spirit is ranked 58,572nd in the world and 237th in Ordo Imperialia for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,825.25 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
