The City of Obera is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and national health service. The compassionate, cynical population of 560 million Oberenos are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of San Antonio de Padua. The average income tax rate is 25.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Obereno economy, worth 27.0 trillion Pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 48,161 Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property, sick Oberenos are hair today and gone tomorrow, invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, and the state conscripts sociopathic orphan girls to train as professional assassins. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Obera's national animal is the Swallow, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Obera is ranked 225,699^th in the world and 378^th in Edoca for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -4.27 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
