The Loving Couple of One TruePairing is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Jacob Hopkins with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, parental licensing program, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 10.109 billion One TruePairingians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gravesfield. The average income tax rate is 75.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient One TruePairingian economy, worth a remarkable 1,270 trillion snails a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 125,652 snails, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Airship use has soared while property values beneath their routes have plummeted, religious education is a new government priority, the people have taken "Hail Jacob Hopkins" as an invitation to lob rocks, and the word "sexagenarian" has taken on a whole new meaning. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. One TruePairing's national animal is the owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cards.

One TruePairing is ranked 291,818^th in the world and 14^th in The Conservative Democracies for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8.37 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
