The Republic of Osipia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Zatz Hoffman with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, avant-garde cinema, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, devout population of 2.845 billion Osipians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ankotem. The average income tax rate is 58.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Osipian economy, worth 225 trillion Osipian Coins a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 79,432 Osipian Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Directors of low-budget sci-fi films are flocking to use Ankotem as a backdrop, women earn less than half the salary of men if they can even find a job, prisons are filled with the cackles and sobs of a deranged inmate population, and politicians sweat as journalists scour internet archives for any mention of them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Osipia's national animal is the bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is secular state.

Osipia is ranked 236,841^st in the world and 4,261^st in The East Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.59 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
