Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Mysterion Rising of Omigodtheykilledkenny is a gargantuan, economically powerful nation, ruled by Manuelo Fernanda with an even hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 14.949 billion enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, liberal, pro-business individuals concentrates mainly on Defence, although Commerce and Law & Order are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paradise City. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology industries.

Tourists outnumber citizens two to one, Omigodtheykilledkenny-made cars tend to catch fire in people's driveways, marketing departments of corporate giants compete to sponsor little league teams, and the nation is experiencing a severe shortage of sporting events. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling. Omigodtheykilledkenny's national animal is the Loch Ness Monster, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is idol worship, and its currency is the tree-fiddy.

Omigodtheykilledkenny is ranked 50th in Antarctic Oasis and 95,061st in the world for Best Weather, with -1,514 Metres of Sunlight Above Expected.
