The Of Great Oceania

Population97 million

The People's Republic of The Of Great Oceania is a large, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 97 million Of Great Oceanians 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 enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 71.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Of Great Oceanian economy, worth 3.60 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Information Technology. Average income is 37,123 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Victims of crime are viewed as less trustworthy than politicians, real chickens replace rooster weather vanes on inner-city rooftop gardens, diners regard burgers made from mechanically reclaimed cow protein as "proper meat", and the nation's once beautiful countryside has turned brown as farmers spray potent pesticides. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Of Great Oceania's national animal is the Dog.

The Of Great Oceania is ranked 45,455th in the world and 1,121st in the South Pacific for Safest, scoring 104.31 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
