The Holy Grand Bishopry of Obadiahstan is a titanic, orderly nation, renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 21.79 billion Obadiahstanis are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Spirituality, with Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 51.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Obadiahstanian economy, worth 755 trillion gelds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Soda Sales, Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 34,665 gelds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children gain their first sex education from reading the dictionary, homes have been banned from having any more than one wheel, the urban poor thumbs down the new hitchhiking ban, and there's nothing special about Leader. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Obadiahstan's national animal is the Gschwall.

Obadiahstan is ranked 16,514th in the world and 4th in Sumerian Coalition for Largest Populations, with 21.8 billion capita.
