The Free Land of Obrela is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, daily referendums, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, devout population of 945 million Obrelans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hundarwar. The average income tax rate is 80.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The strong Obrelan economy, worth 54.2 trillion Obrelan Yen a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 57,340 Obrelan Yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
All mothers are allowed six months fully-paid maternity leave, scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, regional governors use national law books as toilet paper, and stealing from a clothesline is a serious offence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Obrela's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
Obrela is ranked 200,802nd in the world and 3rd in Infinitos Mundos for Largest Populations, with 945 million capita.
