The Kind-of Kingdom of Okona is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Queen Silvene with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 3.736 billion Okonans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capra. The average income tax rate is 47.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Okonan economy, worth 221 trillion äkniks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 59,294 äkniks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Racehorses move a lot slower these days, the most commonly-worn shoes are concrete ones, nobody looks each other in the eye at neighborhood block parties any more, and the government has started a campaign to crack down on road rage and encourage alternate means of commuting. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Okona's national animal is the rabbit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Associated Press Stylebook.

Okona is ranked 61,959^th in the world and 263^rd in the Outback for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,885 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
