The State of Oscoda is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by the Governor with an iron fist, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 29.26 billion Oscodans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Welfare, although Industry, Social Policy, and Public Transport are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 71.7%.

The strong Oscodan economy, worth a remarkable 1,519 trillion betales 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 Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 51,947 betales, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

Employers may fire workers without giving any reason, genetic researchers have been expelled, Oscoda has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Oscoda in an international press conference. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oscoda's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Oscoda is ranked 67,349^th in the world and 1^st in Mariana Islands for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 2,643.98 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
