The Planetary Empire of Oberseewald is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by HIM Prinz Jasten Wilhelm vonSchrader with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 27.002 billion Obersees enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, with Industry and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neo Trantor. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Oberseewaldian economy, worth a remarkable 5,659 trillion Marks a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 209,600 Marks, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,391,098 per year while the poor average 12,096, a ratio of 115 to 1.

Multiple polls have christened the newly-formed Filibuster Committee as "the least efficient government bureaucracy", torture is illegal, record sales of 'child-whacking sticks' have been reported, and the 'kind of scrawny' 500 meter hurdle is a popular event. Crime is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Oberseewald's national animal is the Walrider, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Oberseewald is ranked 1,700th in the world and 1st in The Commonwealth of Crowns for Most Stationary, with 4,203.70564296 days.
