The People's Republic of Oakforvia is a very large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 237 million Oakforvians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 60.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but stagnant Oakforvian economy, worth 2.15 trillion Lorrs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Retail, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 9,080 Lorrs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, the military is on a massive recruiting drive in advance of an invasion of Brasilistan, funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals, and children's daycare starts at the crack of dawn. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oakforvia's national animal is the Sea Eagle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
Oakforvia is ranked 326,506th in the world and 1,333rd in Europeia for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 3,559.72 Standard Monetary Units.
