The Republic of Ocean Space 19 is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, smutty television, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 4.038 billion Ocean Space 19ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 68.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Ocean Space 19ian economy, worth 409 trillion stars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 101,513 stars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
Third world countries are rich in "I Love Ocean Space 19 City" t-shirts, burning yourself alive is not okay but starving and whipping yourself is fine, international tensions are high as Ocean Space 19 threatens any government with the audacity to arrest its citizens, and the silencing of dissent speaks volumes about the quality of Ocean Space 19ian democracy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ocean Space 19's national animal is the siren, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Ocean Space 19 is ranked 22,668th in the world and 1st in Ocean Space for Lowest Crime Rates, with 87.63 law-abiding acts per hour.
