The CRSS-0043X of OIS Crossguard is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Avakael with an even hand, and renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, parental licensing program, and daily referendums. The devout population of 5.371 billion OIS Crossguardians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of OIS-0043. The average income tax rate is 71.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient OIS Crossguardian economy, worth 602 trillion Halicarnassuses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 112,130 Halicarnassuses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's youth would rather watch paint dry than the news, laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts, popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs, and citizens must inform the government each time they have a haircut. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. OIS Crossguard's national animal is the White Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cruor.

OIS Crossguard is ranked 266,473rd in the world and 490th in Ordo Imperialia for Most Secular, with 12.15 Atheism Rate.
