The Sultanate of -OneTrue-Pairing is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its infamous sell-swords and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 942 million -OneTrue-Pairingians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 46.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The -OneTrue-Pairingian economy, worth 43.3 trillion snails a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 45,942 snails, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Court cases mostly involve lawyers shouting questions at witnesses giving silent shrugs, the phrase 'spreading like wildfire' is no longer in the public lexicon, religious education is a new government priority, and the nation refuses to discard its increasingly useless penny. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -OneTrue-Pairing's national animal is the owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

-OneTrue-Pairing is ranked 212,752^nd in the world and 4^th in Lands of the Ooga for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -6.88 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
