General

The Kingdom of Old Ogastein is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 551 million enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is effectively ruled by the Department of Law & Order, with areas such as Social Equality and Social Welfare receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 83%, and even higher for the wealthy. A healthy private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Automobile Manufacturing and Information Technology.

Female newsreaders distract the nation by breastfeeding during broadcast, Old Ogastein has been greatly criticised for its isolationist policies, streakers swamp all public events in order to bare it all, and the nation's first space rocket -- sponsored by Pepsi and shaped like an enormous soda bottle -- is being developed. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Old Ogastein's national animal is the great horned owl, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the opal. Old Ogastein is also a member of the UN, receiving 13 endorsements
