The Armed Republic of Starship Ocean is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, soft-spoken computers, and daily referendums. The devout population of 2.611 billion Starship Oceanians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 30.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Starship Oceanian economy, worth 68.6 trillion forks 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 a slick, highly efficient black market in Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Information Technology. 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 26,280 forks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rural communities are all but disenfranchised as politicians focus all their attention on winning the deciding urban votes, third world countries are rich in "I Love Starship Ocean City" t-shirts, sales of pregnancy testing kits are booming, and arms manufacturing has been put at an arm's length. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Starship Ocean's national animal is the Militarized Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Starship Ocean is ranked 103,268^th in the world and 16^th in Shots Puppets for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,214.04 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
