The United Confederacy of Osagh is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister Rashida Kahvan with a fair hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, unlimited-speed roads, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.151 billion Osaghians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, corrupt, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cardenopolis. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Osaghian economy, worth a remarkable 1,834 trillion serads 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 225,048 serads, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, the carbon footprint falls along with the human footprint during war, families make most of their annual income from government benefits, and many marriages go virtually unconsummated. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Osagh's national animal is the panther, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Osagh is ranked 80,458^th in the world and 18^th in The Social Liberal Union for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,645.83 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
