The State of Oglethorpe Coast is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 32.48 billion Thorpers live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.8%.

The powerhouse Oglethorpe Coastian economy, worth a remarkable 1,644 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 50,638 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 163,657 per year while the poor average 11,840, a ratio of 13.8 to 1.

Citizens are regularly found digging for treasure in their gardens, all tariffs have been abolished, Oglethorpe Coast has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Oglethorpe Coast in an international press conference. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Oglethorpe Coast's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Oglethorpe Coast is ranked 255,975^th in the world and 451^st in United States of America for Lowest Crime Rates, with 48.83 law-abiding acts per hour.
