The People's Confederacy of Obacia is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by People's Chancelor Simo Fronto with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.208 billion obaciens are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Toradai. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Obacien economy, worth a remarkable 1,936 trillion kwons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 235,916 kwons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The optimally efficient parking strategy for business commuters is referred to as the "traveling salesman problem", prime real estate is devoted to wind farms and solar energy generators, government fact-checkers use surprising amounts of high explosive, and the nation has nearly as many history museums as obaciens. Crime is totally unknown. Obacia's national animal is the parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Atheism of State.

Obacia is ranked 18,498^th in the world and 8^th in Calme Ybovien for Nudest, with 222.5 cheeks per square mile.
