abstract
| - It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and International Aid. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Osirians City. The average income tax rate is 92.8%, and even higher for the wealthy. The large but inefficient The Osiriansian economy, worth 602 trillion Golden Pigs a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Uranium Mining industry. Average income is 61,532 Golden Pigs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest. An enormous health awareness programme is underway, the tenet of free speech is held dear, criminals are executed and their property seized, and the government is frequently held to ransom by the increasing demands of bloodthirsty pirates. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. The Osirians's national animal is the Gull, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is a major religion.
