The Armed Republic of Oaklandein is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Larry Oakman with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, ban on automobiles, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.357 billion Oaklandeinians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Proto-Daugavgriva. The average income tax rate is 51.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Oaklandeinian economy, worth 257 trillion Oakish lats a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Gambling. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 109,239 Oakish lats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Visual acuity is worsening amongst teenagers, you can't make an omelet without breaking a few legs, tax-payers are funding ever more extravagant movie projects, and tradesmen will knock 10% off their fees if customers pay cash. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oaklandein's national animal is the Glock 17, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Godkeepers.

Oaklandein is ranked 236,402^nd in the world and 3^rd in Joint Mercenary Warband for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 47.56 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
