The Commonwealth of Ocularist is a very large, safe nation, notable for its smutty television, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 403 million Ocularistians 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 Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 42.7%.

The Ocularistian economy, worth 24.9 trillion Lokes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 61,824 Lokes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Toy versions of heroin paraphernalia let kids pretend to be their favourite TV characters, the new Ocularistian-made OS is buggier and more inconvenient than a horse-drawn carriage, citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, and stocks go up when the internet says so. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ocularist's national animal is the serpeant, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ocularist is ranked 179,814^th in the world and 1,152^nd in the Rejected Realms for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 35,425.65 Standard Monetary Units.
