The Loving Couple of Oh-Crikey is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Flapjack with an even hand, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, frequent executions, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 4.054 billion Oh-Crikeyians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Archive House. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 30.5%.

The powerhouse Oh-Crikeyian economy, worth 209 trillion snails a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is 51,678 snails, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 189,962 per year while the poor average 9,941, a ratio of 19.1 to 1.

Unshaven men are viewed with suspicion in courts of law, the nation has recently been attributed to the funding of terrorist organisations, it's normal to start working life with crippling financial debt, and Big Agriculture has the government by the nuts. Crime is pervasive, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Oh-Crikey's national animal is the owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cards.

Oh-Crikey is ranked 74,613th in the world and 9th in New York for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 2,485.51 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
