The Federal State of Great Obanok is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Chancellor B L A D E F I R E S T A R with a fair hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, frequent executions, and vat-grown people. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 5.22 billion Obanokians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Obanok City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 21.1%.

The all-consuming Obanokian economy, worth 474 trillion Heads a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is 90,975 Heads, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 270,501 per year while the poor average 23,988, a ratio of 11.3 to 1.

Cash-strapped politicians frequently host bake sales to fund their campaigns, doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion, the government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds, and anyone with a tin cup can stop by the welfare office to have it filled with coins. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Great Obanok's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Way Of The Nine Gods.

Great Obanok is ranked 172,820^th in the world and 3^rd in Novaegan for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring zero on the Clooney Contribution Index.
