The Loving Couple of OneTrue Pairing- is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Mattholomule with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory vegetarianism, keen interest in outer space, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.01 billion OneTrue Pairing-ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hexside. The average income tax rate is 32.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming OneTrue Pairing-ian economy, worth 524 trillion snails a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 104,789 snails, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Purported secret military bases are dismissed by Mattholomule to be highly-advanced toilet factories, talkative students are escorted from schools in second-hand prison buses, the deaf are perplexed when the weather report tells them that the wind will be "bringing some rain along the Nazi ghosts", and the government has begun a crusade against drugs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. OneTrue Pairing-'s national animal is the owl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Cards.

OneTrue Pairing- is ranked 270,826th in the world and 3rd in Emmeria for Safest, scoring 7.15 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
