The Armed Republic of Oculia is a very large, genial nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 294 million Oculians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neo-Avaris. The average income tax rate is 76.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Oculian economy, worth 28.0 trillion Benes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 95,169 Benes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

ADHD now stands for Attention Distracted by Hardware Devices, straitjackets are a common religious garb, elementary school children develop thousand-yard stares, and science centers and state of the art laboratories are ubiquitous. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oculia's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Oculia is ranked 47,238^th in the world and 24^th in Sancturia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,055.27 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
