The OIS-0175 of OIS Rubicon is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, smutty television, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate population of 1.553 billion OIS Rubiconians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 63.3%.

The all-consuming OIS Rubiconian economy, worth 172 trillion Halicarnassuses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 111,005 Halicarnassuses, with the richest citizens earning 7.2 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's prisons are touted as the best weight loss programs money can't buy, the immigration office has an express line for people bringing cash in briefcases, people who tease dwarfs are being cut down to size, and it takes months to get the proper permits for a child's first tricycle. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. OIS Rubicon's national animal is the White Phoenix, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

OIS Rubicon is ranked 232,578^th in the world and 497^th in Ordo Imperialia for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 48.04 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
