The Democratic States of Offell is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its zero percent divorce rate, ubiquitous missile silos, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, devout population of 1.629 billion Offellians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed, including voting. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. The average income tax rate is 68.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Offellian economy, worth 169 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 104,039 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, half-submerged and flooded seaside hotels are technically still next to the beach, class action lawsuits have gone up in smoke thanks to government interference, and every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Offell's national animal is the penguin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Offell is ranked 60,241^st in the world and 24^th in The Citrus Sea for Highest Average Incomes, with 104,039.54 Standard Monetary Units.
