The Republic of Western Osprey is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 4.443 billion Ospreys hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 8.7%.

The strong Osprey economy, worth 230 trillion Fish a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Woodchip Exports, and Tourism. Average income is 51,987 Fish, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Western Osprey's national animal is the Osprey, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Western Osprey is ranked 201,517^th in the world and 6^th in Colorado for Safest, scoring 43.87 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
