The Republic of Ocean view is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its burgeoning tiger population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 3.09 billion Ocean viewians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.1%.

The thriving Ocean viewian economy, worth 196 trillion guilders a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Average income is 63,493 guilders, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 224,745 per year while the poor average 12,951, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Ocean view's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ocean view is ranked 218,044^th in the world and 8,587^th in Lazarus for Safest, scoring 27.87 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
