The Dictatorship of ONI Sword Base is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Drake with an iron fist, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 19.334 billion ONIs are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Daedelus. The average income tax rate is 78.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient ONI economy, worth a remarkable 4,737 trillion Orion Credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 245,052 Orion Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Living well is no longer the best kind of revenge, airport users are more worried about radiation than terrorism, the television adaptation of Jennifer Government is the most popular program in the nation, and attendance of fathers at PTA meetings is at an all-time high. Crime is totally unknown. ONI Sword Base's national animal is the Arachnid, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

ONI Sword Base is ranked 20,512^th in the world and 1,002^nd in Lazarus for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
