The Republic of Omega Alpha is a mammoth, orderly nation, remarkable for its enslaved workforce, fear of technology, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 8.978 billion Omega Alphans 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 43.3%.

The strong Omega Alphan economy, worth 550 trillion mysteries a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 61,321 mysteries, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

Little League matches are often attended by riot police with water cannon... just in case, what's in your genes matters more than what's in your jeans, soldiers with colourful mohawks make themselves perfect targets for snipers, and being able to unblock a u-bend pipe is considered a universally essential skill. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Omega Alpha's national animal is the mystery, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Omega Alpha is ranked 320,901^st in the world and 3,706^th in Remembrance for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -108.73 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
