The Empire of Oompa loompa Island is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, infamous sell-swords, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 599 million Oompa loompa Islandians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 40.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The strong Oompa loompa Islandian economy, worth 35.5 trillion chocolates a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Gambling. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 59,233 chocolates, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Street crime is on the rise as police officers spend most of their time in prisons, parties that are too noisy are broken up to prevent disturbing wildlife, the sidewalk is used as an overtaking lane by city drivers, and ship captains always order a return to port at the slightest sign of rain. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oompa loompa Island's national animal is the oompa loompa, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Oompa loompa Island is ranked 129,961st in the world and 13th in Burge Classroom for Largest Governments, scoring 14.39 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
