The Colony of OC33 is a mammoth, genial nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 7.497 billion OC33ians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 20.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient OC33ian economy, worth 261 trillion Citas a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,890 Citas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. OC33's national animal is the Vippertooth Dragon.

OC33 is ranked 107,437^th in the world and 1^st in Occupied Czechoslovakia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,869.25 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
