The Free Land of Oconomowoc is a very large, socially progressive nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, ban on automobiles, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 453 million Oconomowans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saginaw. The average income tax rate is 85.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Oconomowan economy, worth 16.8 trillion Oconomowan dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is 37,104 Oconomowan dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political satirists and late night comedians weep as the government begins cleaning up its act, referenda are held for every conceivable government action, teenagers performing appendectomies on their friends has become a popular schoolyard prank, and the installation of street lights across remote goat tracks has left citizens bemused. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oconomowoc's national animal is the raccoon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Oconomowoc is ranked 8,114^th in the world and 4^th in Lesbian for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 69.25 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
