The Oppressed Peoples of Mockerstan is a huge, pleasant nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 714 million Mockerstanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The minute government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order and Public Transport also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mock City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.1%.

The strong Mockerstanian economy, worth 46.0 trillion Mocks a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Soda Sales. Average income is 64,392 Mocks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 190,191 per year while the poor average 17,139, a ratio of 11.1 to 1.

Young girls aren't having a ball but they are enjoying themselves, the mark of a good ruler is the largeness of his chin, a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, and lovesick people are told 'it's not them, it's you'. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Mockerstan's national animal is the goat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Mockerstan is ranked 233,953^rd in the world and 581^st in Saint Osmund for Nicest Citizens, with 11.33 average smiles per day.
