The Communist Republic of Onysim is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Kontor Netystein with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, parental licensing program, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 3.089 billion Onysimians 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 enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Central Bordeaux. The average income tax rate is 74.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Onysimian economy, worth 181 trillion kroots a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 58,769 kroots, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Science labs across the country languish in cobwebs as the government turns its attentions to spiritual matters, there's no such thing as a safe bet, prisoners pray grey skies are gonna clear up, and no suburban lawn is complete without barbed wire and landmines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Onysim's national animal is the Human, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Onysism.

Onysim is ranked 96,865^th in the world and 923^rd in The Communist Bloc for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 2,086.27 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
