The Constitutional Monarchy of Ombran is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister Halka Slintistè with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, complete lack of prisons, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.355 billion Ombrians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ămsel. The average income tax rate is 60.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ombrian economy, worth 696 trillion crowns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 109,596 crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy, the legalization of meat has skewered the sales of vegetarian substitutes, Prime Minister Halka Slintistè has been known to make speeches in fishing waders, and seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma. Crime is totally unknown. Ombran's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ombran is ranked 113,322^nd in the world and 478^th in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,321.89 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
