The Power of Indian Ocean Currents is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-working, intelligent population of 7.23 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Law & Order and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 24%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Soda Sales.

Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low. Indian Ocean Currents's national animal is the tapir, and its currency is the rupee.

Indian Ocean Currents is ranked 2nd in Indian Ocean and 38,476th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
