The Former Hell of Lovely Oceania is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Huge Brother Ignatius with an iron fist, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, anti-smoking policies, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 21.496 billion Lovely Oceanians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Londinium. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.3%.

The powerhouse Lovely Oceanian economy, worth a remarkable 3,180 trillion Frozen Rats a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 147,978 Frozen Rats, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,345,721 per year while the poor average 1,856, a ratio of 724 to 1.

Exports of chewing gum are inexplicably falling, tourists are denied entry because of a distant relative married to a Lilliputian, political shows are fit for purpose, and citizens are arrested for naturally producing proteins. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Lovely Oceania's national animal is the nuclear raven, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is praising the leader.

Lovely Oceania is ranked 114,640th in the world and 11th in Oceania for Most Stationary, with 335.00438976372 days.
