The Hundred Oaker Forest of Oaks 98 is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, lack of airports, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.837 billion Oaks 98ians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 67.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Oaks 98ian economy, worth 500 trillion planets a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 130,361 planets, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

A new "thought police" branch is being developed, behind every great person are three dozen other people passing great memos, the police force is rumoured to be made up of evil shadows with no souls, and the nation's arms dealers guarantee discretion and untraceable transactions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oaks 98's national animal is the falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Oaks 98 is ranked 51,823^rd in the world and 901^st in Artificial Solar System for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 3,695.56 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
