The Parliamentary Democracy of Oshenheim is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Chancellor Adrian Talos with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, soft-spoken computers, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 2.773 billion Oshenians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tulsheim. The average income tax rate is 74.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Oshenian economy, worth 281 trillion Kyries a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 101,539 Kyries, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The bourgeoisie are asked nicely to hand over the means of production, religious households enthusiastically use whips in private, kids these days know how to throw a proper punch, and a degree in Chancellor Adrian Talos Science with a Minor in Awesomeology starts many political careers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oshenheim's national animal is the Ragdoll Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Protestant Lutheranism.

Oshenheim is ranked 154,522^nd in the world and 23^rd in Hive for Largest Populations, with 2.77 billion capita.
