The Republic of Onion 6 is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its ritual sacrifices, keen interest in outer space, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.929 billion Onion 6ians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 81.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Onion 6ian economy, worth 648 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 131,561 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens often ask "what has information technology ever done for us?", former first wives now find themselves mothers to twenty children, employers are finding it hard to screen candidates now that everyone gets A grades in their exams, and it's best not to ask what goes into Onion 6 City Crispy Fried Tofu's secret blend of herbs and spices. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Onion 6's national animal is the parrot, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Onion 6 is ranked 114,139^th in the world and 290^th in Eye for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
