The Republic of Oslasa45 is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, compulsory gun ownership, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.763 billion Oslasa45ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 47.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Oslasa45ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,767 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, 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 227,738 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Women who walk into the ladies' changing room are accused of being Peeping Toms, 50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, and adulthood begins with the creation of an email account. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oslasa45's national animal is the squirrel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Oslasa45 is ranked 26,964th in the world and 1,591st in Lazarus for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 6,051.67 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
