The Olympian Adherents of Omphalos is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Hera Pambasileia with an iron fist, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, soft-spoken computers, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 5.813 billion Omphalosians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Realm of Rheia. The average income tax rate is 91.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Omphalosian economy, worth 633 trillion drachmas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 108,960 drachmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nephews and nieces of the monarch resort to begging from relatives in palace halls, imitation is the sincerest form of felony, minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home, and people who have never eaten chicken are told it tastes a bit like crocodile. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Omphalos's national animal is the peacock, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Reformed Greek polytheism.

Omphalos is ranked 44,909th in the world and 307th in the West Pacific for Most Stationary, with 981.22372618308 days.
