Oakvalia is one of the world's super powers, and a leading member of the I.R.C.--the International Ruling Community. Known for its non-ideological politics and the somewhat idiosyncratic sarcasm of its citizens, they nonetheless enjoy an amount of respect throughout the I.R.C. However, the recently declared War on Sage has been criticized by several smaller and less influential countries. While some object to perceived human rights abuses and to the fact that drone strikes against the Cogendist Republic of Rhodesia have been largely ineffective in battling the regime there, Oakvalia maintains the backing of its powerful international coalition in the War on Sage.
Domestically, electronic music is all the vogue, religion is rather powerless and largely ceremonial and cultural in nature, and while the vast amount of citizenry remains largely apolitical, the policies of the government have been appraised as socially liberal and fiscally moderate. Despite the social liberalism reflected in the country's politics, there is nonetheless heavy backing for a strong military to be used against Rhodesia, Syria, and other countries, as well as domestic wire-tapping as needed. There is, as well, a noted antipathy towards labor unions and the like. Cigarette use is prevalent throughout the country.
