The Theocracy of Western Oceania is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Ralph with an even hand, and remarkable for its digital currency, unlimited-speed roads, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 2.771 billion Oceanics 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neptunalia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Oceanic economy, worth 539 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 194,575 dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 820,403 per year while the poor average 29,901, a ratio of 27.4 to 1.

Small businesses are gobbled up almost daily by corporate giants, military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description, pretending to be prejudiced is a good way to get out of jury duty, and welfare recipients are milking the government for all they've got. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Western Oceania's national animal is the dolphin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Fundamentalism.

Western Oceania is ranked 5,151st in the world and 41st in 10000 Islands for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 8,336.93 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
