The Commonwealth of Overseas Regions is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 8.847 billion Overseas Kiravians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government is effectively ruled by the Department of Spirituality, with Defense also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.9%.

The strong Overseas Regional economy, worth 480 trillion lire a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Retail, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 54,352 lire, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 350,306 per year while the poor average 3,407, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Overseas Regions's national animal is the storm petrel, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Overseas Regions is ranked 15,155^th in the world and 3^rd in Ocean for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 5,418.28 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
