The Highly Taxing Nation of Oblorgy is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Grog with a fair hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, soft-spoken computers, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.665 billion Oblorgians 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 enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Damberg. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Oblorgiane economy, worth a remarkable 1,506 trillion Dunes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 173,894 Dunes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

School history books often refer to President Grog as "that imperialist pig dog", a niche industry catering to S&M enthusiasts has sprung up, international collectors know that a grease-stain on a work of art probably means it's passed through Oblorgy, and companies struggle to cover for the hordes of employees on parental leave. Crime is totally unknown. Oblorgy's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Oblorgy is ranked 9,918th in the world and 1st in Union of Yukaris Gap Basement Nations for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 9,694.39 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
