The Matriarchy of Oslasa68 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its disturbing lack of elderly people, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.702 billion Oslasa68ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 67.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Oslasa68ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,434 trillion Golds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 213,973 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.
The state is footing the bill for billionaires' lawyers, five-year-olds chanting "Little Miss Muffet" are accused of bullying arachnophobes, freighter lifeboats have been replaced by state of the art marker buoys so divers can recover the cargo after they sink, and all industry is owned and run by the government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oslasa68's national animal is the Giraffe, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Oslasa68 is ranked 221,206th in the world and 8,471st in Balder for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -3.84 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
