The Greatest of The Great Old Ones is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 11.654 billion Great Old Onesians 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, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 70.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Great Old Onesian economy, worth 282 trillion gifts 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 mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 24,245 gifts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, organ donation is compulsory, and lip-readers are often left perplexed by political rallies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Great Old Ones's national animal is the dhole, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Great Old Ones is ranked 66,336^th in the world and 2^nd in Ulthar for Lowest Crime Rates, with 70.65 law-abiding acts per hour.
