The Raion and Port of Obolon is a mammoth, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning sheep population. The hard-working population of 8.506 billion Obolonians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 18.0%.

The Obolonian economy, worth 378 trillion francs a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Automobile Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 44,516 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Obolon's national animal is the sheep, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Obolon is ranked 172,279^th in the world and 1^st in Obolon for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 42 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
