The United Socialist States of Ochelaga is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, digital currency, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical population of 11.305 billion Ochelagans are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valois. The average income tax rate is 93.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ochelagan economy, worth a remarkable 1,312 trillion Bidous a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 116,063 Bidous, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cops shout apologies with every swing of their baton, people stand their fridges back-to-front to benefit from the free heating, it is common to see Maxémon Trainer listed on Ochelagan resumés, and the dessert 'Death by Chocolate' isn't the most lethal dish on the menu. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ochelaga's national animal is the Crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ochelaga is ranked 27,159^th in the world and 39^th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 6,025.42 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
