The OIS-0187 of OIS Hammerhead is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ubiquitous missile silos, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, devout population of 1.546 billion OIS Hammerheadians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. The average income tax rate is 24.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse OIS Hammerheadian economy, worth 152 trillion Halicarnassuses a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 98,827 Halicarnassuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

There has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees, OIS Hammerhead City's main city thoroughfare has been blocked by a row of leyland cypresses that mysteriously appeared overnight, the same 1546 social media bloggers always loudly and immediately agree with Leader's every word on Twitcher, and hordes of unemployed lumberjacks have resorted to cutting down utility poles to satisfy their cravings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. OIS Hammerhead's national animal is the White Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

OIS Hammerhead is ranked 25,166th in the world and 57th in Ordo Imperialia for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 52.91 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
