The OIS-0029 of OIS Kraken is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Avakael with an even hand, and remarkable for its digital currency, enslaved workforce, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 4.579 billion OIS Krakenians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of OIS-4859H. The average income tax rate is 44.8%.

The powerhouse OIS Krakenian economy, worth 386 trillion Halicarnassuses 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 large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, 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 84,367 Halicarnassuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

New "Worker's Strike" laws set out who is allowed to strike a worker, sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed, citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, and foreign policy is mostly just to smile and hope for the best. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. OIS Kraken's national animal is the White Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cruor.

OIS Kraken is ranked 66,605th in the world and 349th in Ordo Imperialia for Most Beautiful Environments, with 623.56 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
