The United Socialist States of Opressed Labor is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 171 million Opressed Laborians 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 enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 67.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Opressed Laborian economy, worth 3.91 trillion dollars 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, highly specialized black market in Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. 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 22,875 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms, politicians bribe ten-year-old geniuses to sit their aptitude tests, counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients, and posters remind people that 'Hoarding Mushrooms Is Theft'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Opressed Labor's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Opressed Labor is ranked 23,618^th in the world and 79^th in Concord for Safest, scoring 111.97 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
