The National Federal Republic of Occidentica is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by President Andrew Harrison with an iron fist, and remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.778 billion Occidenticans 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Windenburg. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 65.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Occidentican economy, worth a remarkable 2,236 trillion Occidentican Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 287,504 Occidentican Marks, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Only 'organics' are permitted to be citizens, the combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage, the latest "must-have" uPhone is 1/4 mm thinner than last year's uPhone, and many in Occidentica are born in the purple. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Occidentica's national animal is the White Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Protestanism.

Occidentica is ranked 8,400^th in the world and 9^th in Commonwealth of Liberty for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 98,614.02 Standard Monetary Units.
