The Expansionist Autocracy of Overthrough Empire is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Overlord with an iron fist, and notable for its vat-grown people, parental licensing program, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.191 billion Overtroops 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while Social Policy and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Parisz. The average income tax rate is 93.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Overthrougian economy, worth a remarkable 5,603 trillion Ouroes 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, 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 an amazing 394,854 Ouroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Major cities are suffering under water rationing, medical staff can legally quiet people who ask for a second helping of Salisbury steak, the new Overthrougian-made OS is buggier and more inconvenient than a horse-drawn carriage, and nine out of ten citizens of Overthrough Empire answered 'nuclear safety inspector' when asked their occupation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Overthrough Empire's national animal is the Mutated Abomination, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is OLordism.

Overthrough Empire is ranked 14,476th in the world and 1st in The Absolution for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 9,404.88 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
