The Refugi Spirit of Oaks 201 is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its frequent executions, infamous sell-swords, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 7.443 billion Oaks 201ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Oaks 201ian economy, worth 660 trillion planets a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Uranium Mining, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is 88,745 planets, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 250,863 per year while the poor average 25,117, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

Military strategists are questioning the wisdom of subsidizing the economies of sworn enemies, odysseying merchant sailors swear that they've heard sirens in the western seas, twice-daily toilet inspection rotas for government buildings are archived for public appraisal, and the government prefers to leave the past buried. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Oaks 201's national animal is the falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Oaks 201 is ranked 272,786^th in the world and 5,408^th in Artificial Solar System for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring -10.39 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
