The Divine People's Republic of St Oz is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Listener with a fair hand, and renowned for its ritual sacrifices, sprawling nuclear power plants, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 41.898 billion Ozians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt, outspoken government is dominated by the Department of Education, with Industry, Healthcare, and Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ozipol. The average income tax rate is 27.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient St Ozian economy, worth a remarkable 6,671 trillion Maritime Insurance Notes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Gambling, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 159,226 Maritime Insurance Notes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Bounty hunters have been dispatched to hunt down rogue bounty hunters, protestors are soaking piles of Maritime Insurance Notes in blood to make a point about government incomes, the subway is dead quiet in early afternoons, and politicians can't accept birthday presents from their own children. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. St Oz's national animal is the Civet, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Gaeanism.

St Oz is ranked 21,107^th in the world and 5^th in Taijitu for Highest Average Incomes, with 159,226.48 Standard Monetary Units.
