The Federal Republic of Obvindivilia is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, avant-garde cinema, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 730 million Obvindivilians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Obvindivilia City. The average income tax rate is 21.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Obvindivilian economy, worth 57.7 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 79,003 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's been a banner year for local vexillology, search and rescue forces now accept cheques and all major credit cards, police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, and it is considered unpatriotic to learn a foreign language. Crime is totally unknown. Obvindivilia's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Obvindivilia is ranked 152,645^th in the world and 6,029^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 601.79 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
