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.

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.
