The Republic of Ozarks is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 8.913 billion zarks live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.1%.

The thriving Ozarksian economy, worth 374 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Tourism. Average income is 42,060 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 148,881 per year while the poor average 8,579, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Ozarks's national animal is the razorback, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Ozarks is ranked 194,781^st in the world and 3^rd in Arkansas for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring zero on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
