The Loving Couple of -One-True Pairing- is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Eberwolf with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.902 billion -One-True Pairing-ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beast Keeping Coven. The average income tax rate is 51.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient -One-True Pairing-ian economy, worth 583 trillion snails a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 118,976 snails, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.
The prevalence of circular logic frequently renders parliamentary observers dizzy, Eberwolf is refusing to make decisions until the Moon is out of Capricorn, the nation has been sent to bed early for unspecified naughtiness, and former pharmaceutical company owners have lost their healthy incomes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -One-True Pairing-'s national animal is the owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cards.
-One-True Pairing- is ranked 2,946th in the world and 1st in Weed for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 7,724.9 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
