The Loving Couple of Official-Couple is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Prince Jr with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, frequent executions, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 9.915 billion Official-Coupleans 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grom Tree. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Official-Couplean economy, worth a remarkable 1,236 trillion snails a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 124,693 snails, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 415,715 per year while the poor average 27,847, a ratio of 14.9 to 1.

All recreational drugs are legal, the government's suicide hotline now redirects callers to local tax lawyers, city rooftops are pockmarked with the shattered remains of high velocity delivery drones, and the new cheese tax is colloquially known as "wheel welfare". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Official-Couple's national animal is the owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cards.

Official-Couple is ranked 13,886^th in the world and 7^th in The United Federations for Largest Black Market, with 321 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
