The Chapter 8-4 of The Overthere is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 3.762 billion nimbis enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grambi's Palace. The average income tax rate is 46.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish angelic economy, worth 106 trillion coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 28,274 coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government's foreign policy statements are less threatening than a World Assembly cease-and-desist letter, Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, political talk shows often have children as guests whenever they need commentary on world religions, and edutainment video games are taking The Overthere's students to the next level. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Overthere's national animal is the skellobit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Overthere is ranked 111,731^st in the world and 3^rd in Wind of Spirits in Exile for Lowest Crime Rates, with 66.31 law-abiding acts per hour.
