The Overtime Season of Omerta is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 729 million Rinayzeses are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chicago. The average income tax rate is 7.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Omertan economy, worth 88.0 trillion blue hunchoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 120,686 blue hunchoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Farmers are complaining that the buzzing and the sparks from the nearby MagRail are blighting their crops, the invisible hand of the market wipes babies' bottoms, the word "sexagenarian" has taken on a whole new meaning, and footballers are doing aerobics in the sauna to build their hot weather endurance. Crime is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Omerta's national animal is the none, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Omerta is ranked 304,798^th in the world and 32^nd in Rich Slime Global for Lowest Crime Rates, with 11.04 law-abiding acts per hour.
