The Holy Winter of The Overseer is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Santa with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, aversion to nipples, and enforced nudity. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 26.466 billion Acolytes are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of North Pole. The average income tax rate is 90.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Overseerian economy, worth a remarkable 2,252 trillion Golden Candy Canes a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 85,124 Golden Candy Canes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation operates a "finders-keepers" policy with other nations' citizens, ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools, politicians that report exaggerated crowd sizes for their speeches are dismissed for being delusional, and the nation is renowned abroad for its love of blood and guts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. The Overseer's national animal is the Reindeer Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cult of Malice.

The Overseer is ranked 28,538^th in the world and 34^th in The Brotherhood of Malice for Most Patriotic, with 44.29 flags saluted per person per day.
