The Divided Archipelago of Oceanic Vakiadia is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by I Nwerol and F Nwerol and V Cansyer with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 6.052 billion are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Defence, although Education and Commerce are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Adiakav and Ankyandya and Illani. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Tourism.

Notable individuals are granted land and titles, newspapers cannot report anything about politicians without their explicit consent, billions of Selahunoss are being blown on orbital weapons development, and almost all of Oceanic Vakiadia's water is piped into the country from abroad for exorbitant prices. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling. Oceanic Vakiadia's national animal is the Megalodon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Expansionist Anti-Penguinism, and its currency is the Selahunos.

Oceanic Vakiadia is ranked 98th in Pony Lands and 47,007th in the world for Most Influential, scoring 12 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
