The Holy Black Dictatorship of O B E Y is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by fear with an iron fist, and notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, parental licensing program, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.244 billion mindless slaves are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of capital punishment. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient mindless slave labor economy, worth a remarkable 8,639 trillion tax dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is a breathtaking 652,334 tax dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Holidaymakers sleep curled up on the floor as hotel beds are replaced with oversized bookcases, O B E Y is increasingly belligerent on the international stage, pulling weeds is seen as a threat to national security, and it is illegal to liberate slaves. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. O B E Y's national animal is the law, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Terryism.

O B E Y is ranked 291,412th in the world and 9th in TERRY for Highest Food Quality, scoring 1.31 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
