The State of Ogygea is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by President Kostoris with a fair hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The democratic population of 3.291 billion Ogygeans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kemnos. The average income tax rate is 34.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Ogygean economy, worth 110 trillion euros a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 33,459 euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech, no one believes anything until it has been strenuously tested and peer-reviewed, President Kostoris can't hear a thing when the unwashed masses throw rocks at the new state limousine, and wounded veterans can only get prosthetics if they agree to become walking billboards for the arms industry. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ogygea's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ogygea is ranked 213,566^th in the world and 14^th in Mediterranean for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 60.05 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
