The Armed Republic of OIS Fulminant is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its public floggings, free-roaming dinosaurs, and digital currency. The hard-working population of 516 million OIS Fulminantians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.2%.

The frighteningly efficient OIS Fulminantian economy, worth 48.3 trillion Halicarnassuses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 93,654 Halicarnassuses, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Human sacrifice to the metaphorical altar of Mammon ensures national prosperity, EULAs remind customers that "Private Mode" is a browser setting rather than a promise, children in school playgrounds can be heard chanting the hymns of the Order of Violet, and escargots have lost their charm ever since they started to be called 'cooked land snails'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. OIS Fulminant's national animal is the White Phoenix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

OIS Fulminant is ranked 134,616th in the world and 218th in Ordo Imperialia for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 731.02 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
