The Oceanic Commonwealth of States, short-named Oceanic, is a U.S. state located in the Caribbean, Pacific, and northwest extremities of the country's West Coast. Containing the states (OC) of Puerto Rico, Hawai'i, Alaska, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Northern Mariana Islands, and American Samoa, Oceanic is a very geographically spread out state, being the only U.S. state to have territory in all four hemispheres.

Oceanic is the least populated U.S. state, with a population just above 5,500,000 (1986). Its largest city is Honlulu, Hawai'i, which contains just over 6% of the state's population. Oceanic has no formal state capitol, and its Governor is known to relocate in a new federally-recognized county of Oceanic every few months, due to the large geographic and cultural dispersion.

Under Oceanic law, the U.S. state is referred to as a Commonwealth, while its direct subsidiaries (e.g. Hawai'i, Puerto Rico, etc.) are referred to as states.
