The Republic of Oceanica Nation is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, daily referendums, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 3.135 billion Oceanica Nationians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 44.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but underdeveloped Oceanica Nationian economy, worth 137 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 43,895 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Councils up and down the country wrangle over legal matters, pregnant hitchhikers with signs requesting rides to "competent care" are a common sight on Oceanica Nationian roads, hospitals have to sell their computers on vBay in order to afford the ransomware decryption payments, and war criminals are given full state funerals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oceanica Nation's national animal is the fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Oceanica Nation is ranked 55,284th in the world and 1,699th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 72.82 law-abiding acts per hour.
