The Makasta Top Level Domain of Og is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, ubiquitous missile silos, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 14.834 billion Ogians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 51.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Ogian economy, worth a remarkable 1,709 trillion Golds a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 115,225 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Diplomatic fallout tends to be much more dangerous than radioactive fallout, disadvantaged youths often commit felonies to enhance their educational prospects, women no longer need to pepper conversations with incessant references to fictitious husbands, and complaining about Christmas music in October is a ho-ho-horrendous crime. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Og's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Og is ranked 40,041st in the world and 2,518th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 77.67 law-abiding acts per hour.
