The Incorporated States of Oscomia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Francis Xavier Reagan with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 10.052 billion Oscomians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ithaca. The average income tax rate is 6.4%.

The Oscomian economy, worth 543 trillion Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Trout Farming, and Retail. Average income is 54,069 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

In a fit of passion President Francis Xavier Reagan has shredded thirty years' worth of petitions, engineers preemptively order lawyers after every power cut, there have been sightings of people walking around dressed in nothing but leopard-skin g-strings for 'religious reasons', and adults pretending to be teenage girls claim to have wholesome motives. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Oscomia's national animal is the Bald Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Oscomia is ranked 38,566th in the world and 29th in The Glorious Nations of Iwaku for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 5,255.62 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
