The Corporate Divisions of Obvious Extra Vote is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Hon McMoneyBags Vcte Mgve MF CDOEVLM GCO with an iron fist, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, public floggings, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 17.808 billion Obvious Extras are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Obliviona. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Obvious Extra Folk economy, worth a remarkable 7,542 trillion Extra Credits a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 423,564 Extra Credits, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,768,149 per year while the poor average 6,462, a ratio of 583 to 1.

Male tourists tend to be fearful of Obvious Extra Vote's deadly femme fatales, children must make a homemade spinach and ricotta rotolo by high school or be held back, a popular phrase is "eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we eat, drink and be merry some more", and quiet professionalism has returned to the nation's armed forces. Crime is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Obvious Extra Vote's national animal is the Mutant Death Cobra, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Church of the Bank.

Obvious Extra Vote is ranked 285,957th in the world and 10,846th in Osiris for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 93.47 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
