The State of O2YU is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, complete lack of public education, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 15.91 billion O2YUians 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, outspoken government is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.3%.

The thriving O2YUian economy, worth 371 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is highly specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is 23,326 betales, with the richest citizens earning 8.3 times as much as the poorest.

Baby boys who pick up pink crayons are sent to a psychiatric ward, spoiler warnings are now given out before political speeches, badminton was recently banned due to 'unacceptable violence' inherent to the game, and billions of betales are being poured into a space program. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. O2YU's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

O2YU is ranked 263,580^th in the world and 101^st in The Federation of Independent Nations for Lowest Crime Rates, with 43.15 law-abiding acts per hour.
