The Green Light of OK is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Leader Awaiting Approval with an iron fist, and renowned for its lack of airports, compulsory military service, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 31.33 billion OKians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized morass — prioritizes Education, although Administration, Environment, and Social Policy are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Checkbox. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 89.8%.

The frighteningly efficient OKian economy, worth a remarkable 3,783 trillion Stamps a year, is extremely specialized and solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 120,750 Stamps, with the richest citizens earning 6.7 times as much as the poorest.

Every day has been a surprise since weather reporters turned to consulting ancient totems for their seven-day forecasts, citizens often glare angrily at jet contrails, escargots have lost their charm ever since they started to be called 'cooked land snails', and increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. OK's national animal is the Tick, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

OK is ranked 314,205th in the world and 6th in Axis of Absurdity for Safest, scoring 7.88 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
