The Loving Couple of One-True Pairing- is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Derwin with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.877 billion One-True Pairing-ians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Conformatorium. The average income tax rate is 68.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient One-True Pairing-ian economy, worth 495 trillion snails a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 101,677 snails, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Rare art has become a significant factor in negotiating all foreign trade agreements, raver DJ XStacy holds multiple medical degrees in chillaxing, One-True Pairing- is suspiciously populated compared to its neighbors, and the nation has declared war on all passing comets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded 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.
