The Community of Ochre Islands is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Willow of the Finches with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, daily referendums, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.081 billion Ochre Islanders have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bellflower. The average income tax rate is 46.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Ochre Islander economy, worth 586 trillion Florins a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 96,377 Florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts, delivery truck companies use hospital parking lots to store 16-wheelers, wilderness-dwelling hermits are surprised to find railway stations on their front doorsteps, and annual Formula One races bring the capital to a screeching halt. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ochre Islands's national animal is the Ochre Lizard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Ochrenatik.

Ochre Islands is ranked 80,516^th in the world and 30^th in Anaia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 68.47 law-abiding acts per hour.
