The Hundred Oaker Forest of Oaks 1 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its closed borders, frequent executions, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, devout population of 10.265 billion Oaks 1ians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 71.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Oaks 1ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,360 trillion planets a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 132,564 planets, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Conscripts often volunteer for a second tour of duty so they can get a ticket to next year's Army Revue, it's best to decline if Leader offers to buy a round of drinks, constituents prefer a carrot and boomstick approach to dealing with politicians, and Leader has killer fashion sense. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oaks 1's national animal is the falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Oaks 1 is ranked 273,804^th in the world and 10,219^th in Lazarus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 6.48 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
