The Empire of Narwhalsgomoo is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Crow Emrest de Alger Obelia with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 10.355 billion Obelians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Akistra. The average income tax rate is 94.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Obelian economy, worth a remarkable 1,163 trillion Roses a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 112,317 Roses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Getting a haircut is a punishable offence, every diamond ring sold is accompanied by a twenty-five page analysis and a waiver, stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, and attendance of fathers at PTA meetings is at an all-time high. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Narwhalsgomoo's national animal is the Hound, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Narwhalsgomoo is ranked 20,247^th in the world and 1,132^nd in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 91 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
