The Queen's State of Oil Gateway is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its burgeoning deer population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 35.595 billion Oil Gatewayians 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 large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.1%.

The very strong Oil Gatewayian economy, worth 851 trillion betales a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 23,920 betales, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary and a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Oil Gateway's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Oil Gateway is ranked 87,235^th in the world and 528^th in State for Largest Black Market, with 3.43 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
