The Federation of Ogbem is a mid-sized, safe nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 92 million Ogbemians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, although Welfare, Law & Order, and Public Transport are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 37.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Ogbemian economy, worth 2.93 trillion Shillings a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 31,853 Shillings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins, the internal market is thriving, mournful opera fans place bouquets of roses at a 3000 capacity parking lot, and competing private ambulances racing to be the first to traffic accidents are a major cause of road accidents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ogbem's national animal is the Shoebill, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Ogbem is ranked 100,916th in the world and 4th in Bep nation for Nicest Citizens, with 14.64 average smiles per day.
