The Arling of Osus is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Arlessa Livosca vas Furey with a fair hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 10.378 billion Osusians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Linc. The average income tax rate is 19.7%.

The strong Osusian economy, worth 581 trillion kamas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is 56,020 kamas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Billions of kamas are being poured into a space program, paper and ink publications are subsidised by the government to keep them in the black, students do more community service than homework, and government agents stalk the aisles of grocery stores for out-of-stock medications. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Osus's national animal is the jaguar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Maumiqism.

Osus is ranked 214,560^th in the world and 1^st in Bailiwick of Guernsey for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 19.72 Effective Tax Rate.
