The Empire of Oompa loompa Island is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, free-roaming dinosaurs, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed population of 393 million Oompa loompa Islandians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 40.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Oompa loompa Islandian economy, worth 22.6 trillion chocolates 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 black market in Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Gambling. 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 57,487 chocolates, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

International collectors know that a grease-stain on a work of art probably means it's passed through Oompa loompa Island, the nation's industries are scrambling to switch to biodegradable plastics, kids refer to anything below the neck as "the parts that shall not be named", and innocent defendants often plead guilty for fear of receiving a much harsher sentence before jury. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oompa loompa Island's national animal is the oompa loompa, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Oompa loompa Island is ranked 87,446th in the world and 21st in Burge Classroom for Safest, scoring 89.15 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
