The UNIX-like Operating System of OpenBSD is a mammoth, orderly nation, notable for its public floggings, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 6.334 billion OpenBSDians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 71.5%.

The frighteningly efficient OpenBSDian economy, worth a remarkable 1,003 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 158,437 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 512,877 per year while the poor average 36,959, a ratio of 13.9 to 1.

"What's the Frequency, Leader?" is a favorite phrase of backyard radio broadcasters when interrupting official diplomatic channels, squeaky high prepubescent voices recite the patriotic poem "Hail to The Leader!" before each meal, squirrels are considered a delicacy, and airplane passengers have been known to stuff pillows in their jackets to get extra arm room. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. OpenBSD's national animal is the squirrel, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

OpenBSD is ranked 145,408^th in the world and 47^th in Conservative Guild for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 75.6 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
