The Loving Couple of OneTrue Pairing is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Barcus with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, parental licensing program, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 4.822 billion OneTrue Pairingians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hexside. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 48.5%.
The frighteningly efficient OneTrue Pairingian economy, worth 520 trillion snails a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,008 snails, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 382,317 per year while the poor average 22,031, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.
Town nameplates frequently raise giggles from passing tourists, the caged-bird trade is singing, concussed owlball players cannot remember their lineup position, and barbers who trim a few inches of hair bill the government for their labor. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. OneTrue Pairing's national animal is the owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cards.
OneTrue Pairing is ranked 56,023rd in the world and 8th in Newlandia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 72.64 law-abiding acts per hour.
