The Switch of ON is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by ON ON with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, daily referendums, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 28.094 billion ONians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of ON. The average income tax rate is 92.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient ONian economy, worth a remarkable 5,095 trillion ons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Soda Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 181,380 ons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

The most sacred right is the right to ignore the rights of slaves, diaper-wrapped shawarma is a fan-favorite, childhood friends of ON ON are living it large abroad at the taxpayers' expense, and babies are a small but significant export. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ON's national animal is the on, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

ON is ranked 8,005^th in the world and 5^th in Japan for Largest Black Market, with 798 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
