The United Socialist States of Ovation is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its stringent health and safety legislation. The devout population of 2.655 billion Ovationians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government prioritizes Spirituality, with Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 31.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Ovationian economy, worth 58.1 trillion rubledollars a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 21,898 rubledollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ovation's national animal is the hawk.

Ovation is ranked 175,131^st in the world and 1^st in Stormlance for Nicest Citizens, with 12 average smiles per day.
