The Democratic Union of Ochea is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Storm with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 17.287 billion Ocheans 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Island Zero. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.
The frighteningly efficient Ochean economy, worth a remarkable 2,654 trillion ocrons a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 153,536 ocrons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Troublemakers boast about how many times they have to visit their therapist, passwords to nuclear codes must now contain upper and lower case characters, the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, and leakers release information by etching graffiti on bathroom stalls. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ochea's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Ochea is ranked 168,130th in the world and 7th in Nesapo for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 165.71 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
