The Federation of Oblate Spheroid is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Chancellor Carl Erlenmeyer with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, smutty television, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 15.833 billion Oblate Spheroidians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Euphemia. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Oblate Spheroidian economy, worth a remarkable 4,396 trillion OS bills a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 277,657 OS bills, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,997,344 per year while the poor average 12,432, a ratio of 160 to 1.

Recruitment posters proclaim the army to be both fabulous and fashionable, the people of Oblate Spheroid are renowned for their nihilistic attitudes, waste is frequently shipped to other countries, and mining is the nation's most dangerous occupation. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Oblate Spheroid's national animal is the space duck, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Oblate Spheroid is ranked 3,377th in the world and 77th in The North Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 7,749.1 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
