The Community of Oari is a huge, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 465 million Oarini are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paloma. The average income tax rate is 68.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Oarini economy, worth 9.04 trillion Marks 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 Trout Farming, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 19,436 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rubber stamp emojis are the new craze, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, and the recital of citations that follows any political speech can be longer than the speech itself. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oari's national animal is the Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Oari is ranked 140,793rd in the world and 61st in Albastru for Most Extreme, scoring 19.8 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
