The Republic of Oureaux is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its burgeoning deer population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 5.501 billion Oureauxians enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.8%.

The very strong Oureauxian economy, worth 358 trillion triqs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. Average income is 65,132 triqs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 208,484 per year while the poor average 15,445, a ratio of 13.5 to 1.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and children must be board certified to append "Jr" to their name. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Oureaux's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Oureaux is ranked 169,604^th in the world and 1^st in the Republic of Cameroon for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
