The Republic of Oslasa14 is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, avant-garde cinema, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.742 billion Oslasa14ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 70.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Oslasa14ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,836 trillion kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 237,156 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

When shaking hands with foreign leaders Leader wears an armoured gauntlet, nobody looks each other in the eye at neighborhood block parties any more, trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy, and executions often take hours as amateurs attempt to find veins. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oslasa14's national animal is the kangaroo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Oslasa14 is ranked 284,490th in the world and 10,925th in Lazarus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 4.97 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
