The Theocracy of Ougadora is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by King and Queen Varmenda with an even hand, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, pith helmet sales, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 15.042 billion Ougadorans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arcania. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Ougadoran economy, worth a remarkable 2,300 trillion dolomitts a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 152,920 dolomitts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bombs make good ploughs, motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours, medical staff can legally quiet people who ask for a second helping of Salisbury steak, and songwriters compete to see who can come up with the most blasphemous lyrics. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ougadora's national animal is the leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Ougadora is ranked 121,264th in the world and 5,805th in Osiris for Most Patriotic, with 14.31 flags saluted per person per day.
