The Kingdom of Oakwa is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, democratic population of 411 million Oakians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 7.6%.

The strong Oakwan economy, worth 21.5 trillion Jades a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Soda Sales. Average income is 52,217 Jades, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Tourists are denied entry because of a distant relative married to a Lilliputian, even in a one-horse town police are as common as fleas on a stray dog, bad punctuation has come to a full stop, and it is illegal to have the wrong clock time showing on your microwave oven. Crime is relatively low. Oakwa's national animal is the Cross Cobra, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Oakwa is ranked 182,462^nd in the world and 7,264^th in Balder for Safest, scoring 53.39 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
