The Empire of Obelias is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Emperor Anastacius de Alger with a fair hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, unlimited-speed roads, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 3.63 billion Obeliaians 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 tiny, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, with Education and Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kazzell. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.7%.
The frighteningly efficient Obeliasian economy, worth 737 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 203,060 Euros, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 673,624 per year while the poor average 45,685, a ratio of 14.7 to 1.
Half-submerged and flooded seaside hotels are technically still next to the beach, you can be fired for dyeing grey hairs, thousands of former welfare recipients are in a revolutionary uproar as the rest of society is enjoying a hefty tax break, and it's all quiet on the western front. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Obelias's national animal is the Daflamingo, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Susism.
Obelias is ranked 12,068th in the world and 539th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 110 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
