The Holy of Ovekisu is a massive, genial nation, ruled by a head of lettuce with a fair hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, sprawling nuclear power plants, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.736 billion Ovekisuans 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 enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of best city. The average income tax rate is 94.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Ovekisuan economy, worth 532 trillion big macs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 142,604 big macs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows, the government prides itself on being smug and condescending to idiots, hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", and glossy adverts featuring baby's first puff adorn mothers' magazines. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ovekisu's national animal is the human, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is cow.

Ovekisu is ranked 280,084th in the world and 5,924th in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -11.14 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
