The Thanedom of Ogrney is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Urquell with a fair hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 6.659 billion Ogirdians 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, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Spirituality, and Administration are also considered important, while Industry is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Irkwell. The average income tax rate is 10.0%.
The Ogirdian economy, worth 343 trillion Peatposhes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Gambling, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 51,651 Peatposhes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.
The government has been criticized for giving away Ogrney's territory to anyone who claims it, the industries of Ogrney are coughing all the way to the bank, it's a common sight to see angry commuters with grenade launchers mounted on their vehicles, and hunters have been known to lose limbs while attempting to 'play tag' with their prey. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Ogrney's national animal is the primrose vole, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Ach Believe in Yerself Willya.
Ogrney is ranked 10,594th in the world and 7th in New Europe for Most Primitive, scoring 93.54 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
