The OystersRockefellerRepublican of The Oyster Po-Boy is a gargantuan, cultured nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 40.593 billion Oyster Po-Boyians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 68.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Oyster Po-Boyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,983 trillion picayunes a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. 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 48,854 picayunes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

All tariffs have been abolished, elected officials often serve for decades in a single term, recent protests against birds flying too low have resulted in bloodshed, and the government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Oyster Po-Boy's national animal is the Louisiana oyster, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Oyster Po-Boy is ranked 215,440th in the world and 18th in North Carolina for Most Primitive, scoring -92.63 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
