The Community of Overit is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 252 million Overitians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 88.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but sluggish Overitian economy, worth 3.94 trillion Miks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, extremely specialized black market in Basket Weaving and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 15,625 Miks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The long arm of the law possesses a rather slow hand, the government mails weekly updates on the new anti-junk mail laws to every citizen, the nation's diplomatic missives are now delivered via sniper rifle, and school lockers are filled with fancy underwear. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Overit's national animal is the Jellyfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
Overit is ranked 243,363rd in the world and 177th in Karma for Largest Populations, with 252 million capita.
