The Dominion of Overcorp is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by James Kirsten IV with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, digital currency, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 1.779 billion underlings are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Corporate. The average income tax rate is 48.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient employed economy, worth 248 trillion credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 139,565 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Debates on whether toilet seats should be left up or down are increasingly commonplace, most towns have their James Kirsten IV High School located on James Kirsten IV Street, the cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose, and people stand their fridges back-to-front to benefit from the free heating. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Overcorp's national animal is the ant, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Egg.

Overcorp is ranked 40,238th in the world and 762nd in The East Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 76 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
