The '''Serene Realm of the Oan Isles''' ([[Wikipedia:Maori language|Oan]]: ''Te Rohe Rangamarie a te Motuere Oa''; [[Wikipedia:IPA|phonetic]]: /ˈoʊɪn/) is an independent island nation. It consists of the Home Islands at the confluence of the [[Morstaybishlian Sea]] and the [[Pacific Ocean]] and the [[Kohatu Isles]] which form the boundary of the Morstaybishlian Sea and [[Caven Sea]].

Through prudent fiscal policies, liberal economic ideology, enduring political stability
