The United Kritarchies of Oceanus is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by High Councillor Atlas with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, vat-grown people, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cheerful population of 26.867 billion Oceanusians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Atlantus. The average income tax rate is 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Oceanusian economy, worth a remarkable 4,491 trillion Aurichalcums a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 167,156 Aurichalcums, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's counterintelligence budget is all up in the air, Atlantus spends billions upgrading public transport, stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, and the Museum of Blackacrean War Crimes is located on "Blackacre Did Nothing Wrong Avenue". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oceanus's national animal is the Aketas, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Oceanus is ranked 287,324^th in the world and 751^st in 10000 Islands for Most Primitive, scoring -517.17 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
