The Dáxlamic Empire of Obstruction is a massive, safe nation, ruled by If you know you know with an iron fist, and remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and smutty television. The cynical, devout population of 4.316 billion Obstructionians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Spirituality, Administration, and Education are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City of Sam. The average income tax rate is 50.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Obstructionian economy, worth 311 trillion leverages a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 72,162 leverages, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The government makes bereaved siblings into bereaved orphans, it turns out that you actually can put a price on intangible cultural heritage, every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead, and for the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Obstruction's national animal is the finger in the dam, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is If you know you know.

Obstruction is ranked 74,334^th in the world and 31^st in Evergreen Battalion for Most Authoritarian, with 1,262.62 milliStalins.
