The Mostly Peaceful Nation of Oxihydronia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Cynder Grimcrest with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 22.193 billion Oxihydronians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Draconis. The average income tax rate is 85.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Oxihydronian economy, worth a remarkable 1,128 trillion Miniature Books a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Furniture Restoration, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 50,848 Miniature Books, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Public footpaths are being slowly eroded by the burgeoning number of ramblers, political talk shows often have children as guests whenever they need commentary on world religions, careless Maxémon Trainers have been the cause of numerous search and rescue operations, and hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oxihydronia's national animal is the Ox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Oxihydronia is ranked 124,964^th in the world and 19^th in Renegade Islands Alliance for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,453.2 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
