The Brotherhood of Osera is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Joey Steel with an iron fist, and renowned for its state-planned economy, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 10.831 billion Oserans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Naniesoret. The average income tax rate is 93.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Oseran economy, worth a remarkable 1,862 trillion Cossettes 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 171,996 Cossettes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, Joey Steel goes out to lunch surrounded by large men in dark glasses, there's a politician called Male Infant Cobbledick, and red text rains down on the head of anyone who dares to step out of line (Osera has found 2 easter eggs). Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Osera's national animal is the Rosa, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Osera is ranked 126,642nd in the world and 4,573rd in Osiris for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 912.71 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
