The Protectorate of ONElandy is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 259 million ONElandics 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 72.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant ONElandyian economy, worth 4.62 trillion dollars 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 significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Basket Weaving, and Gambling. Average income is 17,833 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, bicyclists are banned from major roads, and voters must frequently select what they view as the lesser of two evils on the ballot. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ONElandy's national animal is the kangaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

ONElandy is ranked 279,035th in the world and 21st in Yoyleland for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -68.19 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
