The Colony of Osidian is a large, safe nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 74 million Osidianians 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 relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.3%.

The strong Osidianian economy, worth 3.57 trillion aurums a year, is led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 48,203 aurums, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Organ donation is compulsory and the tenet of free speech is held dear. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Osidian's national animal is the bovina, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Osidian is ranked 134,821^st in the world and 1^st in Meridia for Safest, scoring 66.13 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
