The Republic of Army of Overlook is a huge, pleasant nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 731 million Army of Overlookians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 20.9%.

The strong Army of Overlookian economy, worth 36.8 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 50,368 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours, 50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool, translators have been hired to deal with the varying regional accents during national political debates, and athletic teenagers are among the wealthiest members of society. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Army of Overlook's national animal is the squirrel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Army of Overlook is ranked 202,298th in the world and 7,517th in Suspicious for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -3.16 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
