The Loving Couple of -One True-Pairing- is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Hettie with an iron fist, and remarkable for its aversion to nipples, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.915 billion -One True-Pairing-ians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Healing Coven. The average income tax rate is 71.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient -One True-Pairing-ian economy, worth 526 trillion snails a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 107,078 snails, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Life expectancy is way down but posthuman perfectionism is way up, the arms industry has been shut down in a surge of pacifism, grumpy old house owners demand that pedestrians get off their footpaths, and foreign policy often involves bullwhips and leather. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. -One True-Pairing-'s national animal is the owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cards.

-One True-Pairing- is ranked 79,399th in the world and 2nd in Odrya for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 4,101.99 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
