The Empire of OvER-THeRE is a very large, pleasant nation, notable for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 118 million OvER-THeREians 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 relatively small government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Welfare, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.3%.
The strong OvER-THeREian economy, worth 6.96 trillion Aids a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Automobile Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is 58,997 Aids, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.
Citizens can't decide whether to be proud or horrified by the country's colonial history, anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, military recruitment numbers are down as citizens object on 'moral grounds', and all streets are privately owned toll roads. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. OvER-THeRE's national animal is the Steve, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
OvER-THeRE is ranked 235,226th in the world and 11th in Helland for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 7.57 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
