The United Socialist States of The Oass is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Prime Minister James Decroix with an even hand, and renowned for its aversion to nipples, digital currency, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 1.239 billion Oassians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ösburg. The average income tax rate is 93.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Oassian economy, worth 167 trillion Réals a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 134,857 Réals, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, the tax agency is feared more than serial killers and terrorists, cops in Ösburg spend much of their time napping on a park bench next to Embassy Row, and access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Oass's national animal is the Sparrow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The Oass is ranked 4,327^th in the world and 98^th in The East Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 2,935.67 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
