The Commonwealth of Oaeiu is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Ted Taft with an iron fist, and notable for its absence of drug laws and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 9.182 billion Oaeiuans enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The minute, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Healthcare and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xanadu. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.2%.

The strong Oaeiuan economy, worth 656 trillion rubles a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is 71,476 rubles, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.

The government has adopted a more thrifty attitude to administrating the country's needs, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, Ted Taft is the self-declared God of all Oaeiu, and Ted Taft has been known to threaten dissenting citizens with a machine gun at press conferences. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Oaeiu's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Former Day Elders.

Oaeiu is ranked 310,715^th in the world and 16^th in The Academy for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -5.48 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
