The Republic of Ocean Waters is a very large, orderly nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, barren, inhospitable landscape, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 391 million Oceanians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The minute, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, although Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality are also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.9%.

The all-consuming Oceanian economy, worth 42.4 trillion Ocean Water Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 108,461 Ocean Water Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 731,460 per year while the poor average 5,971, a ratio of 122 to 1.

X-Files ratings have hit an all-time low, a survey of the nation's rivers and children has shown that pesticide levels are at an all-time regional high, entire families swing in the wind at the national gallows, and no one knows how to tie a reef knot. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Ocean Waters's national animal is the Whale, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Ocean Waters is ranked 89,695^th in the world and 1,270^th in The East Pacific for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 2,304.64 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
