The Holy Black Dictatorship of O B E Y is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by fear with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, restrictive gun laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.217 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 8,599 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 650,607 tax dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Foreign envoys that want to visit O B E Y now have to navigate real minefields in addition to the political ones, any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property, all work and no play has rendered the nation's children somewhat intelligent but also remarkably dull, and landless farmers wander forlornly in the government's many national parks. 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 290,358th in the world and 10th in TERRY for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -37.39 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
