The Armed Republic of Oliver Hazard Perry is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Federal Council with a fair hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-working, democratic population of 7.05 billion Oliver Hazard Perryians 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 prioritizes Defense, although Welfare, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port. The average income tax rate is 30.3%.

The strong Oliver Hazard Perryian economy, worth 453 trillion Knots a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 64,274 Knots, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Skateparks can be found in every city, children are often punished for the sins of the fathers, private businesses are paving paradises to put up parking lots, and cinemas play art-house movies to ever-shrinking audiences as film critics rule the industry. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oliver Hazard Perry's national animal is the Irukandji, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Oliver Hazard Perry is ranked 44,092^nd in the world and 3^rd in Thalassocratic Empire for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,093.47 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
