The CLSS-0223X of OIS Colossus is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Avakael with an iron fist, and remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, infamous sell-swords, and zero percent divorce rate. The cynical, humorless population of 2.743 billion OIS Colossusians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of OIS-0223. The average income tax rate is 57.9%.

The frighteningly efficient OIS Colossusian economy, worth 310 trillion Halicarnassuses a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 113,081 Halicarnassuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Supermarkets must refund spoilt milk even six months after the sale, travelers often bring empty plastic bottles on Air OIS Colossus flights to avoid the pay lavatories, Animal Liberationists are regularly arrested, and many marriages go virtually unconsummated. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. OIS Colossus's national animal is the White Phoenix, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cruor.

OIS Colossus is ranked 46,910th in the world and 177th in Ordo Imperialia for Highest Average Incomes, with 113,081.11 Standard Monetary Units.
