The Principality of Ouiea is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Zarathustra with a fair hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 15.817 billion Ouieans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Oakland. The average income tax rate is 49.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Ouiean economy, worth 285 trillion rubles 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 slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Book Publishing, Soda Sales, and Basket Weaving. 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 18,074 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Interest in globalism never flags, troublemakers just happen to be reassigned to distant mining operations, reporters who negatively comment on politicians' haircuts are cut from the news, and atheistic refugees haven't got a prayer of being granted asylum. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ouiea's national animal is the beaver and its national religion is Zorro ask meism.

Ouiea is ranked 278,620^th in the world and 13^th in The Academy for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7.68 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
