If OcUK was a country what would it be like?

How would it be as a society, what sort of politics would it have, economy, culture etc?

How would it be seen by the rest of the world?

Good Lord this would be a bad idea we'd have Evil lairs popping up all over the place and several bids for world domination none of which will work because I'm already several steps ahead of the average evil genius.

I think that's the scariest idea I have ever heard! Shudder...

It would be a smoking radioactive crater within a week, what with people taking off and nuking ever other thing from orbit, as well as people torching any building that had a spider in it.

There would be people walking around with banhammers

Actually, Tolkien based his dark world on OCUK general discussion - click

The broadband connections would be unlimited and the streets would be empty!

I've always dreamt of buying a large island and creating my own version of a perfect culture. No currency, completely state-run with every job being equal. The better jobs would require greater dedication but would be more fun like game design. The worse jobs like garbage men would mean shorter hours so more time to do whatever you want.

Because there is no currency the only thing you get out of working is the right to live in the country and use its resources as you need them. If you are hungry you would go to a restaurant and eat, no need to pay because nothing the restaurant does costs them anything.

So in short, OCUKland would be the exact opposite of where I want to live.
