The People's Republic of Oazen is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 151 million Oazenians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.7%.

The thriving Oazenian economy, worth 8.71 trillion SEKS a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Trout Farming, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 57,677 SEKS, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 181,154 per year while the poor average 14,060, a ratio of 12.9 to 1.

Contestants on Oazen's Got Talent are screened by the government to make sure that they actually have talent, foreign leaders who don't applaud Leader's speeches are regarded as enemies of Oazen, citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, and organ donation rates have hit a new low. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Oazen's national animal is the puppies, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Oazen is ranked 152,615^th in the world and 31^st in Nevadia for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 573.63 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
