The Republic of Southern Ocean is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister Jacob Pellissier with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working population of 3.114 billion Southern Oceanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The relatively small government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare and Welfare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Montjoie. The average income tax rate is 22.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The very strong Southern Oceanian economy, worth 236 trillion Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 75,843 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.
Tabloids coo over Prime Minister Jacob Pellissier's expected child, nobody likes bad boys any more, it turns out that you actually can put a price on intangible cultural heritage, and smoking is banned in public areas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Southern Ocean's national animal is the King Penguin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.
Southern Ocean is ranked 218,757th in the world and 6,394th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 30.29374450088 days.
