The Parliamentary Democracy of Oshenheim is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Chancellor Adrian Talos with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate population of 2.652 billion Oshenians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tulsheim. The average income tax rate is 73.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Oshenian economy, worth 275 trillion Kyries a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 104,031 Kyries, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Religious figures have been banned from public holidays to make them more multicultural, political hopefuls must announce their intentions decades in advance to accommodate extensive background checks, the bourgeoisie are asked nicely to hand over the means of production, and religious households enthusiastically use whips in private. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oshenheim's national animal is the Ragdoll Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Protestant Lutheranism.

Oshenheim is ranked 24,991^st in the world and 6^th in Hive for Lowest Crime Rates, with 86.11 law-abiding acts per hour.
