I was re-watching the 1984 movie and it reminded me of Canada a lot. A big part of Oceania's ideology is that their propaganda makes the people there genuinely believe in the government, just like Canada. We honestly do have pretty advanced propaganda, other western country doesn't have this good of propaganda either, for example, American propaganda is pretty bad if their own allies shit on them constantly. Even in countries like China, you might get into trouble or be threatened by police, which definitely gets people to stop criticizing the government, but only so they don't get punished or beat up, while many Cucknadians genuinely believe that they're fed.
