The Loving Couple of One True Pairing is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Amelia with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, ritual sacrifices, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 10.199 billion One True Pairingians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hexside. The average income tax rate is 75.6%.

The frighteningly efficient One True Pairingian economy, worth a remarkable 1,120 trillion snails a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 109,894 snails, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

The logging industry is celebrating as tourists plaster One True Pairing with trees, train stations have more platforms than a 1970s disco, the nation's green cities are indeed concrete jungles, and One True Pairingians are unrivalled in obstacle courses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. One True Pairing's national animal is the owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cards.

One True Pairing is ranked 26,395^th in the world and 2^nd in The Great North for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 7,345.86 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
