The United Socialist States of The Oceania Region is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.145 billion Oceanians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brisbane. The average income tax rate is 77.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Oceanian economy, worth 90.4 trillion Oceanian Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 78,958 Oceanian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to Brisbane to enjoy their national art, citizens praise the weeds that overwhelm their narrow vegetable realm, royalist is the most offensive slur in the Oceanian language, and giggling teens are asked to put their mouths on rubber dolls. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Oceania Region's national animal is the Black Swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
The Oceania Region is ranked 155,234th in the world and 3rd in Iris for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,388.4 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
