The State of 0b

“Peace”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The State of 0b is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its absence of drug laws, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 18.265 billion 0bians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The very strong 0bian economy, worth 741 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 40,607 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 276,083 per year while the poor average 2,181, a ratio of 126 to 1.

The Governor has just been declared ruler of 0b in an international press conference, the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, political candidates recite daily pledges of loyalty to their chosen party, and school plays were recently banned due to concerns of child endangerment. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. 0b's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

0b is ranked 132,036^th in the world and 155^th in Omega Prime for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 38,617.99 Standard Monetary Units.
