The Dominion of The Ooort Cloud is a mid-sized, safe nation, notable for its restrictive gun laws and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 69 million Ooort Cloudians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 42.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Ooort Cloudian economy, worth 1.36 trillion Asters a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 19,711 Asters, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Ooort Cloud's national animal is the Aster.

The Ooort Cloud is ranked 279,765^th in the world and 747^th in Cebulon for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring -6.32 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
