The Rogue Submarine of HMS Onslaught is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Captain Fletcher with an iron fist, and notable for its ban on automobiles, public floggings, and fear of technology. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 8.557 billion Baggies are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Healthcare, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Conning Tower. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.7%.

The strong Baggielandian economy, worth 683 trillion doubloons a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 79,830 doubloons, with the richest citizens earning 6.7 times as much as the poorest.

No one tells their son "you're the man of the house" any more, poets and writers are regularly rounded up and shot for entertainment, the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, and the most popular stadium acts are one-off performances. Crime is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. HMS Onslaught's national animal is the ship's cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

HMS Onslaught is ranked 289,705th in the world and 1st in B71 for Lowest Crime Rates, with 32.37 law-abiding acts per hour.
