The Isle of Oblinsolintary is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Rolland D Bois with an even hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 4.587 billion Oblinsites have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Education, and Environment are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ayedofou. The average income tax rate is 65.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Oblinsolintaryian economy, worth 538 trillion Pebbles a year, is highly specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 117,444 Pebbles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Signs at the border tell international drivers where they can put their cars, pocket calculators are seen as status symbols for the ostentatiously wealthy, exam halls are littered with used needles and empty pill bottles, and the weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oblinsolintary's national animal is the Honeybadger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Plutonism.

Oblinsolintary is ranked 39,784th in the world and 20th in Blue Ridge for Largest Governments, scoring 24.54 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
