The Empire of Oink is a tiny, safe nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 14 million Oinkians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 19.3%.

The Oinkian economy, worth 745 billion Hams a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 53,183 Hams, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller and a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oink's national animal is the Pig, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Oink is ranked 32,292^nd in the world and 102^nd in Starlight for Least Corrupt Governments, with 94.04 percentage of bribes refused.
