The Loving Couple of -Too Many Options is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Khari with an even hand, and notable for its feral children, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 4.698 billion -Too Many Optionsians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Looking Glass Ruins. The average income tax rate is 47.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient -Too Many Optionsian economy, worth 550 trillion snails a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 117,153 snails, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The nightly news reports prosaically on the government blindly throwing money at despotic kidnappers, mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found, the morbidly obese often sell stock options on their own corpses, and the country has been 'going shopping' by annexing nearby nations for their resources. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -Too Many Options's national animal is the owl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Cards.

-Too Many Options is ranked 41,045th in the world and 1st in Dominion of Cerberus for Safest, scoring 105.49 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
