The Hellenic Orthodox Republic of Onysim is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Spiros Kalogeros with an even hand, and renowned for its public floggings, national health service, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, devout population of 8.033 billion Onysimians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Smyrna. The average income tax rate is 81.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Onysimian economy, worth 642 trillion Onysimian Drachmas a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 80,001 Onysimian Drachmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nature magazines featuring stick insects on their covers are sometimes mistaken for fashion magazines, telling someone to 'break a leg' is considered a criminal inducement to self harm, the rainbow assortment of chemicals in the water has turned the frogs gay, and clowns are being rounded up and admitted to mental institutions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Onysim's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Onysimian Orthodox Christianity.

Onysim is ranked 204,689^th in the world and 8^th in RAILGUN for Largest Black Market, with 451 billion Standard Monetary Units.
