The Republic of Oaieu is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by The Q Continuum with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions. The cynical population of 12.333 billion Oaieuans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Oak City. The average income tax rate is 23.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Oaieuan economy, worth 423 trillion francs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,311 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The nationalistic national anthem inspires citizens to literally spit at foreigners, the Oaieuan Arts Council pays teenagers to sit through opera performances, military barracks resemble five-star hotels, and Jainism has been named as Oaieu's national religion. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oaieu's national animal is the kangaroo, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Jainism.

Oaieu is ranked 276,702nd in the world and 1st in eaiou for Highest Average Incomes, with 34,311.22 Standard Monetary Units.
