The Empire of Over Confidence is a colossal, pleasant nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 4.502 billion Over Confidenceans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.
The relatively small, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.9%.
The strong Over Confidencean economy, worth 190 trillion Golden Tigers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 42,287 Golden Tigers, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 231,411 per year while the poor average 3,944, a ratio of 58.7 to 1.
Liberals and conservatives try to disqualify each other's candidates on the grounds that "their ideas would never work in the real world", a suspicious number of John Smiths are known to donate to Over Confidencean politicians, black market eau de toilette is made in bathroom labs across the nation, and edutainment video games are taking Over Confidence's students to the next level. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Over Confidence's national animal is the Tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Over Confidence is ranked 44,565th in the world and 16th in The Wellspring for Rudest Citizens, with 89.91 insults per minute.
