The Free Land of Linden Oak is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Rocket with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, sprawling nuclear power plants, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 20.18 billion Oakians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Angel. The average income tax rate is 92.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Oakian economy, worth a remarkable 2,838 trillion Quercuses a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 140,643 Quercuses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The internet has been placed under government control, atheists in the nation feel uneasy living in buildings where they were once vilified, nude art is becoming wildly popular, and hypochondriacs demand treatment for genetic disorders they don't have. Crime is totally unknown. Linden Oak's national animal is the Sciurus niger, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Linden Oak is ranked 4,748^th in the world and 134^th in the South Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 2,413.34 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
