The Republic of Oellohner is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, fear of technology, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 6.568 billion Oellohnerians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Education. The average income tax rate is 80.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Oellohnerian economy, worth 890 trillion Yen a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 135,592 Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are bankrupted by injuries to cousins they've never met, Tesco was recently named as the new national treasurer, foreign nations kill migratory animals at random in the hope that Oellohner will pay them to stop, and thousands of former welfare recipients are in a revolutionary uproar as the rest of society is enjoying a hefty tax break. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oellohner's national animal is the Scorpion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Oellohner is ranked 21,302^nd in the world and 1,541^st in Two for Lowest Crime Rates, with 88.65 law-abiding acts per hour.
