The Olympian Adherents of Omphalos is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Hera Pambasileia with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 5.915 billion Omphalosians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Realm of Rheia. The average income tax rate is 92.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Omphalosian economy, worth 657 trillion drachmas 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 111,241 drachmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Obstetricians are not allowed to publish ultrasound pictures of fetuses in medical journals, virtual assistants are seen with increasing suspicion every time they get an upgrade, ghost regiments exist only on paper, and police officers often conceal their identities to safeguard against public complaints. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Omphalos's national animal is the peacock, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Reformed Greek polytheism.
Omphalos is ranked 12,880th in the world and 187th in the West Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 96.8 law-abiding acts per hour.
