The Percy Bysshe Shelley Poem of Ozimandias is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 18.342 billion kings are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Spirituality, with Law & Order and Defense also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 57.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Ozimandiasian economy, worth 519 trillion poems 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 Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is 28,339 poems, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, euthanasia is legal, elections have been outlawed, and it is a crime to offend someone's religious beliefs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ozimandias's national animal is the Lid, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ozimandias is ranked 84,791st in the world and 2nd in Ozymandium for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50.5 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
