The Theocratic Socialist State of Obarec Order is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Reeve Aunsellus with an iron fist, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, prohibition of alcohol, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.98 billion Obarecs 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dove Snake Fortress. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.5%.

The all-consuming Obarec Orderian economy, worth a remarkable 2,370 trillion Crosses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 169,592 Crosses, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 654,563 per year while the poor average 30,187, a ratio of 21.7 to 1.

Insurance companies charge extortionate premiums to cover homes near waterways, school guidance counselors recommend monastic vows as an alternative to higher education, the nation is committed to nuclear rearmament, and professionals are ready to retire by the time they receive permission to use their credentials. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Obarec Order's national animal is the Dove Snake, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Christianity.

Obarec Order is ranked 37,034^th in the world and 19^th in The Confederacy of Free Nations for Lowest Crime Rates, with 78.99 law-abiding acts per hour.
