The United Republic of Obets is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Tosoltye ase Mahyarky with a fair hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 9.055 billion Obet hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kossákry. The average income tax rate is 85.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Obet economy, worth a remarkable 1,303 trillion Gorams a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 143,968 Gorams, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government bureaucrats review designs for birdhouses to ensure they do not block the views of neighbors, the government is on the side of working people (like CEOs, bankers and billionaires), newspaper stories fill several pages with colorful adjectives, and all tribal children are set for life with guaranteed government jobs. Crime is totally unknown. Obets's national animal is the horseshoe crab, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Obets is ranked 314,234th in the world and 43rd in The Free Nations Region for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -9.17 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
