The Mindful Recollections of Oogway is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Grandmaster Oogway with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.471 billion Kung Fu Masters 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 Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valley of Peace. The average income tax rate is 92.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Oogwayian economy, worth 552 trillion Wu Zhus a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 123,532 Wu Zhus, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Teenagers performing appendectomies on their friends has become a popular schoolyard prank, lovesick people are told 'it's not them, it's you', armed war-criminals gain asylum if deemed 'fabulous' enough, and the official Oogwayian Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oogway's national animal is the Galapagos turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Taoism.

Oogway is ranked 278,280th in the world and 167th in Valley of Peace for Most Primitive, scoring -317.31 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
