The Hundred Oaker Forest of Oaks 7 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its public floggings, avant-garde cinema, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.326 billion Oaks 7ians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 70.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Oaks 7ian economy, worth 948 trillion planets a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 113,903 planets, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.
The government seizes all major gold finds, the constant playing of Merry Birthday on Oaks 7ian radio has led to calls for the song to be classified as a crime against humanity, the strong are acquitted and the weak are trampled in trial by a falcon, and adverts depict men giving birth while cursing the women who got them into trouble. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oaks 7's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Oaks 7 is ranked 35,417th in the world and 180th in Artificial Solar System for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 70.11 Effective Tax Rate.
