The Republic of Oaieu is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by The Q Continuum with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions. The cynical population of 15.86 billion Oaieuans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Oak City. The average income tax rate is 24.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Oaieuan economy, worth 544 trillion francs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,360 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The Oaieuan Arts Council pays teenagers to sit through opera performances, military barracks resemble five-star hotels, Jainism has been named as Oaieu's national religion, and concert halls sport signs proclaiming "No Shorts, Sandals or Swastikas". Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oaieu's national animal is the kangaroo, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Jainism.

Oaieu is ranked 279,897^th in the world and 1,246^th in Pacifism for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -8.12 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
