The ✧ Velvet Dynasty ✧ of Oseao is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Queen Liora Elarithae with a fair hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, vat-grown people, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 4.569 billion Oseans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Malodin. The average income tax rate is 24.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Osean economy, worth 509 trillion Stardusts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Gambling. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 111,514 Stardusts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

A cat may look at a king and a dude can look at an ass, every day has been a surprise since weather reporters turned to consulting ancient totems for their seven-day forecasts, mathematicians are gathering an infinite number of Phoenixes and typewriters to see if they can recreate the works of Max Barry, and children's daycare starts at the crack of dawn. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Oseao's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Verdant Ways.

Oseao is ranked 183,885^th in the world and 521^st in Horizon for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 702.12 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
