The TYPE of Oppressive Isolation is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, frequent executions, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.559 billion Oppressive Isolationians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, although Law & Order and Social Policy are also considered important, while Welfare and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of CAPITAL. The average income tax rate is 51.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Oppressive Isolationian economy, worth 291 trillion CURRENCIES a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Uranium Mining, Cheese Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 52,439 CURRENCIES, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The words 'private' and 'enterprise' must never appear in the same sentence, the once prosperous capital is in utter decline, a common response to government PSAs is "well, DUH, obviously", and families returning from international vacations are unable to get their children back into the country. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oppressive Isolation's national animal is the ANIMAL, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is FAITH.

Oppressive Isolation is ranked 283,156^th in the world and 203^rd in Nederland for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 20.95 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
