The Lingonberries of Oskifinj is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its national health service, compulsory military service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 605 million Oskifinjians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Haëgensburg. The average income tax rate is 34.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Oskifinjian economy, worth 41.2 trillion Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 68,057 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Any citizen who cries is immediately assigned a psychiatrist, the nightly news reports prosaically on the government blindly throwing money at despotic kidnappers, veteran cops reminisce over their heavy armor days, and Oskifinjians are regularly fired for looking at MyFace during their lunch breaks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oskifinj's national animal is the Great Hornbill, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Oskifinj is ranked 133,586^th in the world and 2,386^th in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 753.88 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
