The Commonwealth of Fort Oyster is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 484 million Oyster Rockers hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 10.5%.

The strong Oyster Rockian economy, worth 25.1 trillion Rocks a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 51,960 Rocks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Leader's told that love often manifests itself through homicidal four-lettered litanies, incarcerated crime lords manage their empires from massage tables, conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, and dog owners proudly declare that their pups can predict when the mailman will arrive. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Fort Oyster's national animal is the eastern oyster, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Fort Oyster is ranked 83,631^st in the world and 1^st in Oyster for Most Secular, with 17.93 Atheism Rate.
