The Holy Red Easter Zombie of Oilgarchy is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by its socialist government with an iron fist, and notable for its closed borders, disturbing lack of elderly people, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 26.604 billion socialists 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, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brooklyn. The income tax rate is 100%.

The all-consuming socialist economy, worth a remarkable 4,851 trillion leaves a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 182,375 leaves, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

EULAs remind customers that "Private Mode" is a browser setting rather than a promise, reddish-brown is the new black, posters remind people that 'Hoarding Mushrooms Is Theft', and vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oilgarchy's national animal is the pollution, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is agnosticism.

Oilgarchy is ranked 3,350th in the world and 2nd in One big Island for Safest, scoring 137.67 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
