The Theocracy of Western Oceania is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Ralph with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, unlimited-speed roads, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 2.739 billion Oceanics are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neptunalia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Oceanic economy, worth 528 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 193,123 dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 814,282 per year while the poor average 29,678, a ratio of 27.4 to 1.

Prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries, major boxing matches are held in government buildings, the government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy', and rioting during the nation's hosting of ORDER caused one million dollars of property damage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Western Oceania's national animal is the dolphin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Fundamentalism.

Western Oceania is ranked 286,566^th in the world and 742^nd in 10000 Islands for Most Primitive, scoring -477.06 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
