The Duchy of Ossulu is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Jr Cadet Seria with an iron fist, and remarkable for its lack of airports, prohibition of alcohol, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 7.382 billion Ossuluans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Risqué. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Ossuluan economy, worth a remarkable 1,629 trillion Silvens a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 220,735 Silvens, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 681,562 per year while the poor average 55,153, a ratio of 12.4 to 1.

Jr Cadet Seria dines while Risqué burns, major corporations receive tax breaks for no apparent reason, immigrant herding has become a national pastime, and twins move across the country to avoid being accused of the other's crimes. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ossulu's national animal is the AT Strapped Hound, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ossulu is ranked 88,739th in the world and 34th in Eientei Gensokyo for Most Stationary, with 513.373456163 days.
