Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Mysterion Rising of Omigodtheykilledkenny is a gargantuan, economically powerful nation, ruled by Manuelo Fernanda with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 15.592 billion live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, pro-business individuals is mainly concerned with Defence, although Commerce and Law & Order are on the agenda. 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.

Most of the military's funding goes into researching space-age weaponry, the booming slave trade is now government-funded, 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Omigodtheykilledkenny's radio stations, and the country is preparing for war. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. 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 2nd in Antarctic Oasis and 236th in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 17 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
