The Republic of Ohiyo is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by John Brown with an iron fist, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, cheerful population of 7.909 billion Ohiyans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Canton. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Ohiyan economy, worth a remarkable 2,181 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 275,873 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The line of people waiting for a visa interview in front of foreign embassies is typically a mile long, Animal Liberationists are regularly arrested, racial supremacists indulge their wildest fantasies in cinemas and theatres across the nation, and industrial chicken farmers hear no evil see no evil and cluck no evil. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ohiyo's national animal is the bison, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ohiyo is ranked 329,021^st in the world and 4,658^th in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -17.74 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
