The Free powers of Oskland is a massive, safe nation, ruled by George Johnson with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, avowedly heterosexual populace, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 1.008 billion Osklandics 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Vincent. The average income tax rate is 21.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Osklandic economy, worth 88.0 trillion Osklandic dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 87,300 Osklandic dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Innocent defendants often plead guilty for fear of receiving a much harsher sentence before jury, veterans in wheelchairs are left waist-deep in rice paddies to gather grain, the nation has nearly as many history museums as Osklandics, and Badelisum has been named as Oskland's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oskland's national animal is the Northern Tailed Deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Badelisum.

Oskland is ranked 206,378^th in the world and 586^th in United Kingdom for Fattest Citizens, with 9.54 Obesity Rate.
