The Allied States of Dai Yuddha Ossyria is a very large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. Its compassionate, hard-working population of 87 million enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Social Welfare, although Education and Defence are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 65%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Uranium Mining.
Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low. Dai Yuddha Ossyria's national animal is the orang utan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the tolar.

Legislative branch:
Tricameral Free People’s Congress consists of the Ancient Senatus (91 senators), Great House of the People’s Representatives (343 representatives), and the Chamber of State’s Delegates (101 delegates).
The Ancient Senatus is made up of hereditary senators, not elected, who comprise the closest thing to nobility in Ossyria. Their job is to serve as a check against the power of the other two houses. All members are required to remain neutral, and legally are not supposed to take part in business outside of their office (though this is rarely enforced). Every twenty years, one of the families is removed from the Senatus and another is chosen by the other two houses.
The Great House of the People’s Representatives is popularly elected by the people every two years. Their job is to make law on the Prime Minister’s advice, supervise the judiciary and appoint territorial governors on the Minister of the Interior and Union Territories’ advice. Their stated goal is to defend the Constitution and popular rights, as well as ensure the executive is functioning satisfactorily. Each state in the federation is proportionally represented based on their population.
The Chamber of Delegates serves as the local governments’ mouthpiece in the federal government. Their power extends over government finance, the military, and foreign affairs. This house is considered the most powerful in practice, though in theory all houses are equal. Each state delegation consists of five delegates and the freely associated state sends one delegate. The delegates are chosen by the state legislature from a pool of randomly chosen candidates.

Supreme Court of the Allied States of Dai Yuddha Ossyria (Five superior chief justices are elected to life terms by Congress, the most senior of whom is designated Supreme Justice; five inferior chief justices are elected to one five-year term by the people)
