The State of Oscare is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by the Governor with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 38.332 billion Oscareans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 82.6%.

The enormous but underdeveloped Oscarean economy, worth a remarkable 1,158 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Soda Sales. Average income is 30,213 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

The mob and the police have had numerous clashes in the back alleys of Oscare's cities recently due to the government's steadfast anti-casino stance, artists are jailed regularly and art-burning parties are common, Oscare has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Oscare in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oscare's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Oscare is ranked 94,873rd in the world and 496th in Ancient Lands for Most Stationary, with 479.27741548448 days.
