The Origin of Oo is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by oo with an iron fist, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 31.282 billion Ooans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oo. The average income tax rate is 66.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ooan economy, worth a remarkable 6,690 trillion oos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Soda Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 213,877 oos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Broken suspension systems are giving auto repair shops plenty of business, all facts are created equal, pet owners are granted clemency from being ritually sacrificed, and children are told they have to do well in school if they want to live. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oo's national animal is the oo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Ooism.

Oo is ranked 325,986^th in the world and 10^th in North Carolina for Nicest Citizens, with 0.28 average smiles per day.
