The Socialist States of Oceania Founder is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by the Big Brother with an iron fist, and remarkable for its smutty television, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 27.304 billion Oceanians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Policy, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New London. The average income tax rate is 88.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Oceanian economy, worth a remarkable 3,018 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Gambling, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. 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 an impressive 110,560 💵 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Dogman-branded weapons are all the rage in the militaristic comic-book community, collisions between bicycles and carnival floats are on the rise, the nation has always been at war with Moltovea, and an extra hand on the leg will give a horse-and-a-half of lead in a hundred jiffies on seven furlongs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oceania Founder's national animal is the 🐀 rat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Big Brotherism.

Oceania Founder is ranked 262,134th in the world and 11th in Oceania for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 12,382.74 Standard Monetary Units.
