The Most Serene Republic of Oceananopolis is a very large, genial nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, avant-garde cinema, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 414 million Oceananopolisians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nereus. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.2%.

The powerhouse Oceananopolisian economy, worth 29.6 trillion Nautiluses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Trout Farming. Average income is 71,531 Nautiluses, with the richest citizens earning 8.1 times as much as the poorest.

A law degree is required before telling people not to drink and drive, teachers are skilled at leaving no evidence of child cruelty, women across the country are tying the knot, and foreign football clubs wave the Oceananopolisian flag before every game. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oceananopolis's national animal is the Dolphin, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Oceananopolis is ranked 303,580^th in the world and 1,504^th in the Outback for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring zero on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
