The Republic of Oh- is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its ritual sacrifices, punitive income tax rates, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.025 billion Ducks 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, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 61.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Duck economy, worth 540 trillion Duckcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 107,515 Duckcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Women who walk into the ladies' changing room are accused of being Peeping Toms, farmers sing lullabies to soothe their livestock to sleep, legislators work 24/7 due to an influx of single-issue bills, and disadvantaged youths often commit felonies to enhance their educational prospects. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oh-'s national animal is the Duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Oh- is ranked 291,693rd in the world and 4,642nd in eta for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -9.73 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
