Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Dictatorship of 1984 Oceania is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 223 million Oceanians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 70.7%.

The Oceanian economy, worth 10.9 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Gambling. Average income is 49,073 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

State officials tend to disappear after they forget to salute Leader's portrait, the line of people waiting for a visa interview in front of foreign embassies is typically a mile long, veterans' meet-ups involve a lot of tail sniffing, and diplomacy is a foreign concept to Oceanians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 1984 Oceania's national animal is the Shark, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

1984 Oceania is ranked 300,467^th in the world and 3,340^th in the Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -10.68 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
