The United Democratic States of The New Oceanic States is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Head of the Federal Council Joe R Trimp with a fair hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, otherworldly petting zoo, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.452 billion New Oceanic Statesians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zephyrville. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 50.4%.

The frighteningly efficient New Oceanic Statesian economy, worth 144 trillion Oceanic dollars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Retail. Average income is 99,699 Oceanic dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

Crossword puzzles have been co-opted as a symbol of racial discrimination, hit and run driving is no longer a crime - it's the national sport, powerful x-ray machines used by the Customs Department can see into the homes of nearby residents, and police aim to defeat hatred with love with their "hugs-for-thugs" program. Crime is almost non-existent. The New Oceanic States's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Freedom of Religion.
