The Dictatorship of 1984 Oceania is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its state-planned economy, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 433 million Oceanians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 70.7%.

The Oceanian economy, worth 21.2 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Gambling. Average income is 49,073 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

State officials tend to disappear after they forget to salute Leader's portrait, the line of people waiting for a visa interview in front of foreign embassies is typically a mile long, veterans' meet-ups involve a lot of tail sniffing, and diplomacy is a foreign concept to Oceanians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 1984 Oceania's national animal is the Shark, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

1984 Oceania is ranked 1,686^th in the world and 68^th in Balder for Most Conservative, scoring 98.12 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
