Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Armed Republic of Greater Ouga Bouga is a huge, economically powerful nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 753 million are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Commerce. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28%. A healthy private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Automobile Manufacturing and Arms Manufacturing.

Prisons are crowded with possible terrorist suspects, vanity is considered the eighth cardinal virtue, movies and computer games are strictly censored for violence, and organ donation is compulsory. Crime is a serious problem. Greater Ouga Bouga's national animal is the dramatic beaver, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the case.

Greater Ouga Bouga is ranked 3,915th in the South Pacific and 78,405th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
