The United Kingdom of Oldommemensland is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, hatred of cheese, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 295 million Oldommemenslandians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 52.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Oldommemenslandian economy, worth 8.18 trillion pesos a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 27,729 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Super Barry Brothers is the most popular video game in the nation, mostly women are seen and not heard, tardiness has increased after carpooling was classified as a criminal offense, and little kids often wonder why strange grown-ups are following them around the soft play areas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oldommemensland's national animal is the unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Oldommemensland is ranked 252,775th in the world and 9th in The Pacifian Federation Colonies for Nicest Citizens, with 8.23 average smiles per day.
