The Republic of OingoBoingo is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Oingo Schnizel Von Prune Juice with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, public floggings, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 2.481 billion OingoBoingans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zetton. The average income tax rate is 52.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse OingoBoingan economy, worth 256 trillion Kochs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 103,226 Kochs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nation-building is the new national pastime, the poor are often seen pale and dizzy after selling their blood to make ends meet, death row inmates cower in fear at the phrase "one-year anniversary", and the nation's people have woken up to find themselves colonial masters of Brasilistan. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. OingoBoingo's national animal is the Octopus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is HERES HOGG - DEENEYYYYYY.

OingoBoingo is ranked 217,105^th in the world and 2^nd in Watford for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 220.46 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
