The Queendom of Oozmas is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Queen Stephanie with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.884 billion Oozmasians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ooztown. The average income tax rate is 80.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Oozmasian economy, worth 257 trillion pesos a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 89,433 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government's giant servers are often used as a tourist trap, for the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs, organised sports are frowned upon as frivolous, and military equipment stores have a tendency to go up in flames. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oozmas's national animal is the reindeer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Oozian.

Oozmas is ranked 28,824th in the world and 3rd in England for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 6,543.14 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
