The Free powers of Oskland is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Aleiv Aleski with an even hand, and renowned for its avant-garde cinema, daily referendums, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, devout population of 3.283 billion Osklandics are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Varsegan. The average income tax rate is 67.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Osklandic economy, worth 364 trillion Osklandic dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 110,995 Osklandic dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is in perpetual campaign mode, a surprising number of police officers have been arrested for Northern Tailed Deer sacrifices, they say that Osklandics made a dessert and called it peace, and vegetables are crisper thanks to CRISPR. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oskland's national animal is the Northern Tailed Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Badelisum.

Oskland is ranked 26,858^th in the world and 963^rd in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 84.81 law-abiding acts per hour.
