The Duchy of Ossulu is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Jr Cadet Seria with an iron fist, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, infamous sell-swords, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 7.382 billion Ossuluans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Risqué. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Ossuluan economy, worth a remarkable 1,640 trillion Silvens a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 222,210 Silvens, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 667,629 per year while the poor average 57,732, a ratio of 11.6 to 1.

College students sell their most valuable possessions just to afford pizza, citizens sporting mohawks must carry family trees on them at all times, senior citizens can usually be found doing heavy manual labour, and people hearing voices that tell them to commit crimes are automatically assumed to be holy. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ossulu's national animal is the AT Strapped Hound, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ossulu is ranked 88,735th in the world and 34th in Eientei Gensokyo for Most Stationary, with 513.373456163 days.
