The Republic of Oxfonia is a tiny, socially progressive nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. Its compassionate, hard-working population of 5 million have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The large government devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Law & Order and Commerce receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 26%. A large private sector is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, followed by Information Technology and Book Publishing.
Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control. Oxfonia's national animal is the ocelot and its currency is the frankfurter.
