The Refugi Spirit of Oaks 255 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies, pith helmet sales, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, devout population of 5.009 billion Oaks 255ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 40.9%.
The powerhouse Oaks 255ian economy, worth 440 trillion planets a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 88,004 planets, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.
Promising seven years of bad luck leads to seven years of community service, looting and pillaging are now considered vital intelligence-gathering activities, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, and the consent form for routine blood pressure measurement has been nominated for the 'Novel Of The Year' award. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oaks 255's national animal is the goose, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Oaks 255 is ranked 43,104th in the world and 296th in Artificial Solar System for Highest Poor Incomes, with 46,507.47 Standard Monetary Units.
