The Pretitle of Omerta is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by leader with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, zero percent divorce rate, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.147 billion demonyms are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, corrupt government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of capital. The average income tax rate is 5.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Omertan economy, worth 149 trillion currencies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Retail, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 130,132 currencies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Blind dates reemerge as a necessary evil in the quest for love, the nation leads Timoria in per capita stalking, the lives of former ski town residents are going downhill, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Omerta's national animal is the animal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is religion.

Omerta is ranked 267,504^th in the world and 60^th in Timoria for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -8.91 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
