The Loving Couple of Official Couple- is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Centaur with an iron fist, and notable for its aversion to nipples, daily referendums, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.735 billion Official Couple-ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The large, corrupt government prioritizes Law & Order, with Administration, Industry, and Education also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Felinia. The average income tax rate is 65.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Official Couple-ian economy, worth 479 trillion snails a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 101,332 snails, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.
