The Holy Black Dictatorship of O B E Y is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by fear with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, ritual sacrifices, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.866 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 an astonishing 10,336 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 695,288 tax dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Heretic deviants are free to practice their deviance outside of O B E Y, citizens wouldn't recognise fear if they passed one another on the street, families returning from international vacations are unable to get their children back into the country, and euthanasia is illegal. 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 346,540^th in the world and 10^th in TERRY for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -62.99 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
