The Most Serene Republic of Occamberg is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Il Doge with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 3.998 billion enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, liberal, pro-business individuals juggles the competing demands of Defence, Commerce, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Pattonsburg. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing industries.

Scenic tours are unheard of after most environmental laws were abolished, half of Occamberg's doctors can't speak the language, Animal Liberationists are regularly jailed, and lemmings are becoming popular in pet stores nationwide. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling. Occamberg's national animal is the lemming, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the krond.

Occamberg is ranked 10th in Texas and 852nd in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring 43 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
