The República Parlamentar of Ossela is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by António Freitas with a fair hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, pith helmet sales, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 8.107 billion Osselanos enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, corrupt, outspoken government prioritizes Industry, although Administration, Environment, and Education are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Barmúim. The average income tax rate is 30.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Osselano economy, worth a remarkable 1,175 trillion Escudo Osselanoes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 144,980 Escudo Osselanoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Many suspect the government "doth protest too much" with their curiously specific denials of conspiracy theories, political scientists despair as the national mascot election eclipses all others in voter enthusiasm, tabloids coo over António Freitas's expected child, and no one questions why the chicken crossed the road anymore. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ossela's national animal is the Gato, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catolicismo Romano.

Ossela is ranked 15,083^rd in the world and 16^th in Portugal for Largest Black Market, with 278 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
