The Republic of Ocean Waters is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 510 million Oceanians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, although Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality are also considered important, while Environment and Welfare receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.3%.

The all-consuming Oceanian economy, worth 58.3 trillion Ocean Water Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 114,234 Ocean Water Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 781,420 per year while the poor average 6,024, a ratio of 129 to 1.

Leader has killer fashion sense, property owners are terrified of pigeons nesting in their buildings, the news of budget cuts leaves a sour taste in Oceanian mouths, and citizens who become homeless are immediately executed. Crime is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Ocean Waters's national animal is the Whale, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Ocean Waters is ranked 205,584^th in the world and 2,294^th in The East Pacific for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -4 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
