The Oppressed Peoples of Oughacia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by General Zavier Cerl with an even hand, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, parental licensing program, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 18.281 billion Oughacians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kehurab. The average income tax rate is 90.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Oughacian economy, worth a remarkable 1,597 trillion Honoes a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, extremely specialized black market in Soda Sales. 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 87,359 Honoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The well-to-do in Sonindia are never on time for important appointments, criminal rehabilitation takes place in re-education centers, citizens are expected to be proficient in at least five languages, and General Zavier Cerl can finally stop kneading the dough and start rolling in it instead. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oughacia's national animal is the coyote, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Oughacia is ranked 50,618th in the world and 7th in Sonindia for Most Stationary, with 889.68513893448 days.
