The Green Light of OK is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Leader Awaiting Approval with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 25.974 billion OKians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Checkbox. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 77.8%.
The frighteningly efficient OKian economy, worth a remarkable 2,636 trillion Stamps a year, is extremely specialized and solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 101,522 Stamps, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.
Prison reforms have replaced communal luaus with communal loos, public loudspeakers constantly tell citizens they are "happy people", advertisements read like science journal articles complete with extensive references, and the internet has been placed under government control. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. OK's national animal is the Tick, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
OK is ranked 234,302nd in the world and 7,359th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 23.19059626912 days.
