The Queendom of Oboe is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-working population of 9.126 billion Oboeans 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 medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 23.5%.

The Oboean economy, worth 411 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 45,036 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Cowboys often wear wolfskin jackets to the saloon, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, gambling is outlawed, and the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Oboe's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Oboe is ranked 209,441^st in the world and 8^th in Johannesburg for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -4.47 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
