The Imperial Republic of Oberlanz is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Kaiser Aleksandros with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, ubiquitous missile silos, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 5.885 billion Oberlanzians 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 relatively small, corrupt government prioritizes Industry, with Defense, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berlanz. The average income tax rate is 21.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Oberlanzian economy, worth a remarkable 1,730 trillion Kroner a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 294,137 Kroner, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

A generation of children conceived in hell and born in strife is growing up inside government-run care villages, deceased politicians spam the public with thousands of AI-generated voicemails, those who cut young children are told to cut it out, and mums always ask their three-year-olds for permission before hugging them. Crime is totally unknown. Oberlanz's national animal is the Phoenix, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Elysian.

Oberlanz is ranked 241,219th in the world and 7,708th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 21.43256961648 days.
