The Penacony's Idol of Robin Oak is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 3.072 billion Penaconians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 47.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Oak Family economy, worth 19.8 trillion credits 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 slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Pizza Delivery, Cheese Exports, Retail, and Tourism. 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 6,430 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Robin Oak's national animal is the Charmony Dove.

Robin Oak is ranked 168,517^th in the world and 24^th in Xianzhou Alliance for Smartest Citizens, with 27.53 quips per hour.
