 Oceania 

Oceania is a superstate that is composed of many former countries. The Americas, Airstrip One (formerly known as Great Britain), Ireland, Iceland, Aurstralia, New Zealand, and Sourthern Africa compose Oceania. Currently Oceania is at war with Eurasia and Eastasia.

 Population 

Oceania’s population can be divided into 3 categories (Proles, the Outer Party, and the Inner party). The Proles, or commoners, make up the majority of the population, about 85%. Their role in society is to be the workforce that supports Oceania. The Outer Party is the middle class of Oceania and make up about 13% of the population. The Inner Party follows orders straight from the Outer party, and for this Outer party members acquire more benefits than that of the paroles. The Outer party is the high elite of Oceania. Their numbers only make up 2% of the entire Oceania population. The Outer Party oversees everything in Oceania and makes the everyday lives of the commoners easier.

 Climate  

Climate varies under the entire superstate of Oceania. Under the Province of Airstrip One, climate is generally considered maritime. The temperature of Airstrip One is at its highest in July and August, while between January and February the temperature is at its coldest. Rainfall is seen throughout the entire year of Airstrip One, and the amount of precipitation can average about 1.5 to 2.5 inches per month.

 Crops 

Crops in Oceania vary under the entire superstate. In the province of Airstrip One, for example, crop are seen to grow in a large variety with the some if the main crops being wheat, barley, oats, potatoes, sugar beets, various vegetables, oil seeds, and various fruits. All produce in Oceania are collected and the redistributed to all of Oceania in an equal manner. There are rumors that Oceania is actually running out of food; however the rumor is quite the contradictory, as the Party states that food rations have been increasing.

 Religion 

Religion in Oceania is viewed as cultic. The power known as Big Brother is the overwhelming force that drives Oceania to do whatever it asks. Many people are seen to show unconditional love for Big Brother. Big Brother is mainly seen watching over every citizen in Oceania through the telescreen and in other motivators, such as posters or in speeches given by Party members. There are those who try to oppose Big Brother; however since he is always watching, those who oppose him are found and punished for their crimes. Most are sent to prison, and others are seen to be tortured. At the end of one’s punishment, the person shows new found love for Big Brother and is never to be seen to oppose him again.

 History 

Oceanian history is not well known to most; in fact the history of Oceania is constantly being altered for the benefit of the Party. The Outer Party is in charge of altering the past by censoring items or translating said items into newspeak. It has been once that, “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.”
