Overview • Factbook • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Spacefairing Federation of The Onyx Front is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Richard Kingston with an iron fist, and remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, anti-smoking policies, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 17.118 billion Conclave of Citizens are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Rome. The average income tax rate is 80.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Onyx economy, worth a remarkable 5,068 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an amazing 296,102 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government seizes private property for the 'good of the people', the Onyx football team for the Maxxmas ceasefire consists only of Intelligence Corps personnel, people are often woken up by rubbish music, and children's books regularly feature formerly distressed damsels suing their princes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Onyx Front's national animal is the Steven Hawking, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Military Agnosticism.

The Onyx Front is ranked 5,373^rd in the world and 1^st in Atlantis for Lowest Crime Rates, with 114.76 law-abiding acts per hour.
