The United States of Oeuai is a titanic, safe nation, notable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The quiet, industrious population of 16.255 billion Oeuaians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sirius. The average income tax rate is 38.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Oeuaian economy, worth 290 trillion marks 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 black market in Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Tourism, 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 17,873 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Teen parties are often ruined by wet blanket chaperones, the navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust, the nation's weary schoolchildren excel at sport but must count scores on their fingers, and the dish 'poisson avec poison' is only available on the black market. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oeuai's national animal is the horse, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Oeuai is ranked 223,253^rd in the world and 3^rd in Another Galaxy for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5.48 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
