The Eternal Nothingness of Oblivion is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by No One with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, restrictive gun laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.743 billion Lost Souls are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nowhere. The average income tax rate is 11.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Lost economy, worth a remarkable 1,419 trillion deep longings a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 132,125 deep longings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

The Great Pyramid of Nowhere can be seen from miles away, surveillance cameras are banned, poets and writers are regularly rounded up and shot for entertainment, and criminals identify as innocent. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Oblivion's national animal is the fleeting shadow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Nothing.

Oblivion is ranked 308,066^th in the world and 18^th in Astral Sea for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -4.47 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
