The Republic of Oztil is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Nathan with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cheerful population of 3.168 billion Oztilians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zatpan. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Oztilian economy, worth 638 trillion Oztil coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 201,613 Oztil coins, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

The government has started a campaign to crack down on road rage and encourage alternate means of commuting, auto manufacturers bemoan the loss of their cheddar, road rage is rarer but more terminal now that many people drive fully-operational battle tanks to work, and teenagers are told they're not thinking about sex enough. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Oztil's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Holy Order of St Ilton.

Oztil is ranked 4,121^st in the world and 93^rd in the Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 609.49 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
