The Hegemonic Despotate of Oppressthemville is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by His Highness Lord Drakonis with an iron fist, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, public floggings, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.797 billion Oppressthemvilleans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Abyssus. The average income tax rate is 95.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Oppressthemvillean economy, worth a remarkable 3,711 trillion Bloodbaths a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 421,890 Bloodbaths, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The "do ya feel lucky, punk?" scene is on the core syllabus at the National Police Academy, His Highness Lord Drakonis's reputation is hard as nails, the Farmer's Almanac is the most popular college textbook, and children grow up believing the sun to be a myth. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oppressthemville's national animal is the gévaudanic beast, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The Worship of Lord Drakonis.

Oppressthemville is ranked 90^th in the world and 6^th in Osiris for Highest Poor Incomes, with 267,034.16 Standard Monetary Units.
