The Confederacy of The Oi is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, avant-garde cinema, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 555 million Oians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Brookfield. The average income tax rate is 52.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Oian economy, worth 34.1 trillion Oian Lire a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 61,465 Oian Lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader is famed for giving great back rubs, the government response to disaster victims starving for bread is "let them eat stale cake", scientists recently cloned the long-extinct feather-bellied horse, and the skeletons of lost tourists litter the ground of the Great Oian Desert. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Oi's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Oi is ranked 85,884^th in the world and 1,638^th in the South Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 1,937.41 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
