Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Emirate of Overbonia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, national health service, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 44.023 billion Overbonians 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 minute, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Education, although Industry is also considered important, while Spirituality and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Overbopolis. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Overbonian economy, worth an astonishing 14,527 trillion Euros a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 329,993 Euros, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 958,461 per year while the poor average 89,931, a ratio of 10.7 to 1.

Art criticism in Overbonia is scathingly destructive, meetings involving club finances are frequently broken up by men in black suits, rioting during the nation's hosting of ORDER caused one million Euros of property damage, and online terrorists are automatically assigned adverts for cheap balaclavas. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Overbonia's national animal is the Cow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Boism.

Overbonia is ranked 86,491^st in the world and 26^th in North America for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 1,916.08 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
