The Olympian Adherents of Omphalos is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Hera Pambasileia with an iron fist, and notable for its smutty television, state-planned economy, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 5.995 billion Omphalosians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Realm of Rheia. The average income tax rate is 92.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Omphalosian economy, worth 660 trillion drachmas 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 110,213 drachmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Heart attack victims are thrown onto the rails, children's TV shows are having a gay old time, weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them, and streakers swamp all public events in order to bare it all. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Omphalos's national animal is the peacock, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Reformed Greek polytheism.

Omphalos is ranked 5,906th in the world and 113th in the West Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 2,147.32 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
