The Loving Couple of Too Many Options is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Severine with an even hand, and notable for its parental licensing program, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, devout population of 4.636 billion Too Many Optionsians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Astral Plains. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 64.0%.

The all-consuming Too Many Optionsian economy, worth 404 trillion snails a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 87,236 snails, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.

Airplane passenger seat sizes and ticket prices are both first-class, the nation's new Mylab space station is notorious for being the loneliest place above the planet, vacationers and business travelers are often warned that they may lose the right to vote if they spend too much time overseas, and trespassers entering Severine's office are immediately vaporized. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Too Many Options's national animal is the owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cards.

Too Many Options is ranked 188,344th in the world and 18th in FIFA Lands for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 31,405.08 Standard Monetary Units.
