The Awesome Girlfriends of -LovingCouple- is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Matt with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 8.716 billion -LovingCouple-ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grudgby Field. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 47.7%.

The frighteningly efficient -LovingCouple-ian economy, worth 889 trillion snails a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 101,996 snails, with the richest citizens earning 8.6 times as much as the poorest.

Adverts proclaim it has to be healthy if the Mornay uses hand-grated Gallopavian Gruyère, vital infrastructure development is on hold because of 'nature and stuff', supermarket milk is a shear-thickening fluid that can stop small-caliber bullets, and community organizers have given up going door to door because nobody is home. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -LovingCouple-'s national animal is the owl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Cards.

-LovingCouple- is ranked 250,937th in the world and 42nd in Land for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring zero on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
