The Hundred Oaker Forest of Oaks 81 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 10.254 billion Oaks 81ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 72.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Oaks 81ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,199 trillion planets a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 117,002 planets, with the richest citizens earning 9.2 times as much as the poorest.

Singles on the dating scene no longer worry about looking their age, drugs containing the compound "oleum de serpens" are being sold to cancer patients, nobody likes bad boys any more, and welfare recipients are milking the government for all they've got. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oaks 81's national animal is the falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Oaks 81 is ranked 311,875th in the world and 1,288th in Primitiveness for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -10.95 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
