The Federal Republic of Oannia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Alexandre with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, infamous sell-swords, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 7.664 billion Oanienses enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oannia City. The average income tax rate is 93.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Oannian economy, worth a remarkable 1,517 trillion lereles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 197,962 lereles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, the nation is stuck in permanent election mode as politicians demand constant do-overs, graverobbers claim they're acting within the interest of 'scientific preservation', and sea side cafes are required by law to close during summer. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oannia's national animal is the duck, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Oannia is ranked 4,676^th in the world and 238^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 581.53 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
