The Loving Couple of Oh Crikey- is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Owlbert with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, state-planned economy, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.126 billion Oh Crikey-ians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Portal. The average income tax rate is 64.8%.

The powerhouse Oh Crikey-ian economy, worth 351 trillion snails a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Furniture Restoration, Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 85,307 snails, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Teen parties are often ruined by wet blanket chaperones, all artwork is carefully screened for offensive material, students learn how to disarm mines before understanding basic arithmetic, and RPG fans reminisce fondly about when people thought they were evil and dangerous rather than geeky and socially inept. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Oh Crikey-'s national animal is the owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cards.

Oh Crikey- is ranked 269,497^th in the world and 12^th in Raxulan Empire for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -9.49 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
