The Greater Co-Prosperity Sphere of Oceanie Orientale is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Joseph Saltynium with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.517 billion kamarades are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saltygrad. The average income tax rate is 91.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient kamarade economy, worth 834 trillion Saucisses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 184,794 Saucisses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Suburban backyards are seized by the government and turned into national parks, the lasting legacy of the current generation is a million years of buried radioactivity, bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins, and artists are pillars of society. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oceanie Orientale's national animal is the Dragon-Bear, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Oceanie Orientale is ranked 128,070^th in the world and 1^st in Unification Ottomane de Shura for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,774.73 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
