The Commonwealth of Oswego is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Lord Ty of Oswego with an even hand, and remarkable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, ban on automobiles, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.116 billion Oswegoans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The City Of Rockwood. The average income tax rate is 14.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Oswegoan economy, worth 238 trillion Sils a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 112,566 Sils, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens worry more about a split end than their deceased parent, many mayors are barely in office before being kicked out for minor parking violations, when you fly on Air Oswego you win a seat or you die, and Lord Ty of Oswego has taken to wearing medal-adorned military uniform in all public appearances. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oswego's national animal is the Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholic.

Oswego is ranked 69,144^th in the world and 48^th in The League for Highest Economic Output, with 238 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
