The State of Osquake is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its complete lack of public education, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 22.452 billion Osquakeans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.2%.

The very strong Osquakean economy, worth 781 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Trout Farming, and Soda Sales. Average income is 34,786 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 236,504 per year while the poor average 1,869, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary and Osquake has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Osquake's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Osquake is ranked 51,974^th in the world and 60^th in 0000 for Highest Food Quality, scoring 32.83 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
