The Satrapy of Ozenev is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Satrap Bilgekul III Nyazikid with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.283 billion Ozenevians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Faizalshahar. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 50.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Ozenevian economy, worth 963 trillion puls a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 224,934 puls, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,804,328 per year while the poor average 6,490, a ratio of 278 to 1.

Shaken martini sales have soared in nations surrounding Ozenev, police officers often conceal their identities to safeguard against public complaints, the government is dead set on letting people rest in peace, and pregnant hitchhikers with signs requesting rides to "competent care" are a common sight on Ozenevian roads. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ozenev's national animal is the horse, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Rukhnama.

Ozenev is ranked 266,927th in the world and 8,811th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 12.04813812252 days.
