The Climate change a'wandering of Oak Brook Mall Rats is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Harry Cary with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 29.575 billion Chicagoans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government is dominated by the Department of Law & Order, with Education also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chicago. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.8%.

The very strong Oak Brook Mall Ratsian economy, worth 948 trillion TRR BBQ and cookieses a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 32,077 TRR BBQ and cookieses, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 123,865 per year while the poor average 5,705, a ratio of 21.7 to 1.

Nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, education is transforming people into first-rate snobs, and motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours. Crime is a problem. Oak Brook Mall Rats's national animal is the climatized cat, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is bokononism.

Oak Brook Mall Rats is ranked 139,477^th in the world and 7^th in Chicago for Most Patriotic, with 10.79 flags saluted per person per day.
