The People's Republic of GreaterOhio is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by wah with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.316 billion GreaterOhioans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Columbus. The average income tax rate is 92.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient GreaterOhioan economy, worth 425 trillion Dollars 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 Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 128,234 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Voting is compulsory, solid-gold toilets are GreaterOhioan prisons' least expensive furnishings, kids these days know how to throw a proper punch, and sullen teenagers in bright orange 'community payback' onesies can be seen picking litter at the roadside. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. GreaterOhio's national animal is the capitalist swine, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Judaism.

GreaterOhio is ranked 12,888^th in the world and 1^st in The Greater Greater Region for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,358.33 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
