“Quis contra nos?”

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

The Armed Republic of Oculia is a very large, orderly nation, renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 244 million Oculians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 75.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Oculian economy, worth 20.2 trillion Benes 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 82,627 Benes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dissing one's former country is a prerequisite to apply for Oculian citizenship, police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, corrupt officials have adopted the greater good as their catchphrase, and the government frequently panders to parents with boutique tax credits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oculia's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Oculia is ranked 308,040^th in the world and 92^nd in Sancturia for Largest Black Market, with 9.00 billion Standard Monetary Units.
