Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Origin of Oo is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its burgeoning oo population. Its compassionate, cynical population of 1.342 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized government devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Social Equality and Healthcare receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oo. The average income tax rate is 27%, but much higher for the wealthy. A robust private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing industries.

A dictator has seized power and outlawed elections, the upper class have been throwing riots after hunting was recently banned, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and organ donation is compulsory. Crime is moderate, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Oo's national animal is the oo, and its currency is the oo.

Oo is ranked 44th in Kyzikos and 20,094th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -9 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
