The Republic of Ocean Waters is a very large, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 452 million Oceanians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The minute, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, although Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality are also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.4%.

The all-consuming Oceanian economy, worth 50.9 trillion Ocean Water Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 112,674 Ocean Water Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 769,178 per year while the poor average 5,979, a ratio of 128 to 1.

The industries of Ocean Waters are coughing all the way to the bank, jails have become colloquially known as 'vampire houses', airport security is provided by private companies, and record numbers of students are leaving school to enter the workforce. Crime is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Ocean Waters's national animal is the Whale, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Ocean Waters is ranked 186,154^th in the world and 2,335^th in The East Pacific for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 1,274.56 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
