The Green Light of OK is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Leader Awaiting Approval with an even hand, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, humorless population of 27.417 billion OKians 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 enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Checkbox. The average income tax rate is 81.0%.

The frighteningly efficient OKian economy, worth a remarkable 2,946 trillion Stamps a year, is extremely specialized and solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 107,466 Stamps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

High school bands practice by moonlight, governments opposing OK are beset by rebels, wealthy pranksters dump refuse on unsuspecting citizens from up high, and the face of Leader Awaiting Approval is a permanent feature of the Checkbox skyline. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. OK's national animal is the Tick, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

OK is ranked 83,351st in the world and 3rd in Axis of Absurdity for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 3,158.25 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
