The Federal Republic of Occidentica is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by President Andrew Harrison with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed population of 2.56 billion Occidenticans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Avrin City. The average income tax rate is 66.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Occidentican economy, worth 471 trillion Occidentica Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 184,358 Occidentica Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's a literal nanny state for the legions of children taken by social services, city rooftops are pockmarked with the shattered remains of high velocity delivery drones, the government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy', and citizens are now allowed to discuss whether President Andrew Harrison is the greatest ruler ever or simply the greatest ruler of this generation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Occidentica's national animal is the Gold Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Occidentica is ranked 275,554^th in the world and 317^th in Commonwealth of Liberty for Most Beautiful Environments, with 7.54 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
