The Commonwealth of Ocularist is a small, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, ubiquitous missile silos, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, democratic population of 26 million Ocularistians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 35.6%.

The Ocularistian economy, worth 1.48 trillion Lokes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 56,871 Lokes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

The government encourages conflict abroad to increase arms sales, captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, politicians have tenure, and Ocularist's army is full of two-metre tall super-soldiers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ocularist's national animal is the serpeant, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ocularist is ranked 124,227^th in the world and 1,138^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Governments, scoring 14.25 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
