The Federation of Oceanian Provinces is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 24.391 billion Oceanian Provincesians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 75.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Oceanian Provincesian economy, worth 395 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 Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 16,213 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oceanian Provinces's national animal is the ox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Oceanian Provinces is ranked 108,007^th in the world and 6^th in Oceania for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
