The Turn Buoy of Offshore Racing is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by High Executive Powerboat Racer with a fair hand, and remarkable for its hatred of cheese. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 4.725 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of the Environment, Education, and Defence. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Carbon Fiber Hull. The average income tax rate is 77%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

A new generation of aquariumless hotels are being built under government supervision, the Cheetah is a protected species, photographers have to apply for a license to photograph High Executive Powerboat Racer, and cheese has become the new icon of political dissent. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Offshore Racing's national animal is the Cheetah, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Fuel.

Offshore Racing is ranked 4,858th in the West Pacific and 126,228th in the world for Largest Mining Sector, scoring -7 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
