The Free powers of Oskland is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Aleiv Aleski with an even hand, and remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, digital currency, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, devout population of 3.442 billion Osklandics 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Varsegan. The average income tax rate is 68.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Osklandic economy, worth 378 trillion Osklandic dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 110,016 Osklandic dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is in perpetual campaign mode, a surprising number of police officers have been arrested for Northern Tailed Deer sacrifices, they say that Osklandics made a dessert and called it peace, and vegetables are crisper thanks to CRISPR. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oskland's national animal is the Northern Tailed Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Badelisum.

Oskland is ranked 23,886^th in the world and 926^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 252.92 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
