The Loving Couple of One TruePairing- is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Hal with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, avant-garde cinema, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 4.814 billion One TruePairing-ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Connecticut. The average income tax rate is 46.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient One TruePairing-ian economy, worth 519 trillion snails a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 107,996 snails, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
The weather in Connecticut is always 'pigeons with a chance of droppings', strip mining of rare earth metals is up while back problems are down, casino tax breaks are even bigger than their jackpots, and drunk drivers are sentenced to death. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. One TruePairing-'s national animal is the owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cards.
One TruePairing- is ranked 70,006th in the world and 1,770th in the Rejected Realms for Lowest Crime Rates, with 70.06 law-abiding acts per hour.
