This shouldn't be mapped in the main OpenStreetMap database. OSM is for
mapping real, verifiable locations, not hypotheticals.

Rather, you should set up your own OSM install on your local server, and
seed it with the existing OSM data. You can then use the usual tools to talk
to this rather than to osm.org. There's lots of documentation on the wiki,
or you can ask on the dev at openstreetmap.org list.
