The Holy Black Dictatorship of O B E Y is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by fear with an iron fist, and notable for its closed borders, enslaved workforce, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.503 billion mindless slaves are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of capital punishment. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient mindless slave labor economy, worth a remarkable 9,889 trillion tax dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is a breathtaking 681,920 tax dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Endangered species face obesity instead of extinction, a recent "genocide prevention" campaign includes murdering children based on their DNA, the government is purchasing vast amounts of palm oil for plastics production, and war criminals are given full state funerals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. O B E Y's national animal is the law, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Terryism.

O B E Y is ranked 36^th in the world and 1^st in TERRY for Most Patriotic, with 239.89 flags saluted per person per day.
