The Nomadic Peoples of Oae is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Chief Demetrios Ungaro with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, lack of airports, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 23.867 billion Oaeans 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 enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Senen. The average income tax rate is 70.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Oaean economy, worth a remarkable 2,141 trillion Aleos a year, is highly specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Gambling, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 89,732 Aleos, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

Students can name the chiefs of proto-Bigtopian tribes before they can count to ten, convicted criminals are given free limo rides to jail, diplomats agree to the terms and conditions of peace treaties without reading them, and visitors to Violet Rock City are stunned to learn that they must memorize the "99 Principles" before entering. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oae's national animal is the octopus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is the Church of Oae.

Oae is ranked 326,670^th in the world and 3^rd in Summer Forest for Nicest Citizens, with 0.27 average smiles per day.
