The Nomadic Peoples of Oogaria is a large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory vegetarianism, unlimited-speed roads, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 192 million Oogarians 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 enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 67.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Oogarian economy, worth 6.68 trillion gols a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, highly specialized black market in Retail, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 34,815 gols, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Residents of houses built on a foundation of wishful thinking are prone to an odd sinking feeling, the only trips Oogarians are allowed to take are the ones caused by hallucinogens, judges are big know-it-alls, and train stations can be 'armful places. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem. Oogaria's national animal is the Boar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Oogaria is ranked 299,568th in the world and 2nd in Petora for Safest, scoring 16.01 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
