The Free Territory of Ove Islands is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by President Ross Sparkle with a fair hand, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.647 billion freemen are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sunrise Valley. The average income tax rate is 69.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ove Islandsian economy, worth 366 trillion Glonas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 100,532 Glonas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Economic output is rising as the chronically depressed are persuaded not to burden society, children's daycare starts at the crack of dawn, cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, and constipated disaster survivors are rapidly learning that MRE is short for "Meal Requiring Enemas". Crime is totally unknown. Ove Islands's national animal is the Seagull, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Freedom.

Ove Islands is ranked 283,396^th in the world and 194^th in Sparkalia for Most Patriotic, with 0.43 flags saluted per person per day.
