The Soldatstaat of Oskarheim is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Nationalkommandant Wilhelm Strasberger with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, free-roaming dinosaurs, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 11.421 billion Oskaari 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 is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, although Law & Order is also considered important, while Environment and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sieggeismar. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 54.4%.

The very strong Oskaari economy, worth a remarkable 1,449 trillion Hogfs 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 a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, 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 impressive 126,951 Hogfs, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, children are often punished for the sins of the fathers, vacationing Oskaari expect to be treated as royalty, and military spending is on the increase. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oskarheim's national animal is the Black Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Trinitism.

Oskarheim is ranked 208,413^th in the world and 10,417^th in Lazarus for Rudest Citizens, with 38.04 insults per minute.
