The Refugi Spirit of Oaks 260 is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, enslaved workforce, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.422 billion Oaks 260ians 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, Industry, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 56.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Oaks 260ian economy, worth 675 trillion planets a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Gambling, Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 91,030 planets, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 346,020 per year while the poor average 16,605, a ratio of 20.8 to 1.

Illegal immigration remains a hot topic, an enormous health awareness programme is underway, nuclear submarines have been deployed to protect the nation's banana supply, and not even good behaviour will get transgender inmates any special perks. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oaks 260's national animal is the goose, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Oaks 260 is ranked 76,319^th in the world and 1,396^th in Artificial Solar System for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 3,815.6 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
