Oakvale

Oakvale is a tiny, under developed, and new nation with citizens primarily of Caucasian ethnicity whose religion is Buddhism. It is a backwards nation when it comes to technology and many refer to it unkindly as a 'Third World Nation'. Its citizens pay moderately high tax rates and they are somewhat unhappy in their work environments as a result. The citizens of Oakvale work diligently to produce Rubber and Uranium as tradable resources for their nation. It is an aggressive country that some say has an itch for war. Although the nations main resource is Uranium, it refuses to develop it into nuclear power, and will only trade it will nations who sign off on nuclear weapons. Plans are on the way within Oakvale to open new rehabilitation centres across the nation and educate its citizens of the dangers of drug use. Oakvale allows its citizens to protest their government but uses a strong police force to monitor the proceedings and arrest lawbreakers. It has an open border policy, but in order for immigrants to remain in the country they will have to become citizens first. Oakvale believes in the freedom of speech and feels that it is every citizen's right to speak freely about their government. The government gives foreign aid when it can, but looks to take care of its own people first. Oakvale will trade with other nations with questionable ethical treatment of their citizens but prefers to keep such trade agreements a secret.
