The Highly Taxing Nation of Oblorgy is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Grog with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 10.36 billion Oblorgians 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, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Damberg. The average income tax rate is 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Oblorgiane economy, worth a remarkable 1,873 trillion Dunes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 180,804 Dunes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fraternities are rejoicing at government-subsidized partying, saying "don't do anything that President Grog wouldn't do" doesn't exclude a great deal, 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Oblorgy's radio stations, and all tribal children are set for life with guaranteed government jobs. Crime is totally unknown. Oblorgy's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Oblorgy is ranked 245,285th in the world and 13,757th in Balder for Largest Black Market, with 205 billion Standard Monetary Units.
