About
The Sovereign Christian Republic of Okielahoma is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 832 million 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.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 97%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Uranium Mining industry.
Public loudspeakers constantly tell citizens they are "happy people", angst-filled teenagers are rushing off to buy government bonds for some odd reason, abortion is only legal in unusual circumstances, and dark alleys and public toilets are filled with furtive sexual activities among teenagers and unmarried adults. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Okielahoma's national animal is the Longhorn, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Haven Pound.
History
Present day Okielahoma was settled around 5000 years ago by Slavic hunters from neighboring lands. These hunters settled on the Red River, which runs through the heart of Okielahoma. The plains, lakes and forests gave these hunters shelter, water and most important of all, the buffalo. Around 3000 years ago it is estimeted that around 500 or so of these hunters were killed in a massive meteor shower. This meteor shower has created one of Okielahoma's most stuning natural phenomena, Crater Lakes and Crater Canyons. In 748 BC the first real city, Norman, was created along the lower Red River. This city was rebuilt in 1632 by the Russians. In 300 AD Okielahoma came under the Russian sphere of infulence as Belozersk-Willinkiav, as part of the Willinkiav province. Around 934 AD a Christian king, Arthur the Great, built his magnificent city of Camelot along the Red River. Arthur and his Knights succeded in driving the native people, the Okiya, into the northern mountains where they remain today. Arthur's kingdom was obliterated by an unknown enemy around 956 AD. For a few hundred years Okielahoma was chaos until its establishemnt as a theocratic kingdom in 1187. In 1450 Okielahoma again changed hands back into Willink, this time as a Russian federation in the Willinkian province. In 1850 Willink declared its independance from Russia and and Okielahoma followed shortly thereafter, declaring independance on February 13th, 1862.
