The Free Serene Confederation of The Omega Point is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, daily referendums, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 28.968 billion Omega Pointians 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 medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Education, although Environment, Healthcare, and Welfare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Law & Order aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 93.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Omega Pointian economy, worth a remarkable 5,530 trillion omega-credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 190,914 omega-credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader's office has a newly installed Max-Man arcade game programmed by a 5th-grader, nouveau riche farmers diligently take care of their golden calf herds, 1% of global paper production is bound for the National Archive, and the tenet of free speech is held dear. Crime is totally unknown. The Omega Point's national animal is the marijuanasaurus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Omega Point is ranked 29,094th in the world and 3rd in Greece for Lowest Crime Rates, with 83.27 law-abiding acts per hour.
