The Miku of Ocelera is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its public floggings, frequent executions, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, devout population of 3.128 billion Ocelerans 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Spirituality, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 51.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The strong Oceleran economy, worth 161 trillion florins 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 large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Retail, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Uranium Mining, 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 51,503 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
Senior citizens can usually be found doing heavy manual labour, school lunches are made with hypo-allergenic wood pulp, the average commuter spends four hours a day driving to and from work, and students returning from overseas study are questioning the status quo. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Ocelera's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Ocelera is ranked 152,419th in the world and 2,805th in Artificial Solar System for Fattest Citizens, with 9.89 Obesity Rate.
