The Empire of The Ominous is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 191 million Illagers 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 60.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Illager economy, worth 11.4 trillion Emeralds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Automobile Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 59,868 Emeralds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Billions are being spent on a new island airport, visiting the best Illager restaurants requires keeping a visa on file, foreign nations kill migratory animals at random in the hope that The Ominous will pay them to stop, and the government officially wants you to slow down and speak more clearly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Ominous's national animal is the Ravager, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Ominous is ranked 112,821^st in the world and 289^th in Vibonia for Safest, scoring 76.96 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
