The Empire of Onderkelkia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Hair Broom with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, unlimited-speed roads, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 39.027 billion Onderkelkians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The minute, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order is also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Inginase. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Onderkelkian economy, worth an astonishing 14,477 trillion Sovereigns a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 370,968 Sovereigns, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,802,743 per year while the poor average 44,089, a ratio of 40.9 to 1.

Fifty years of pension funds can disappear in half a second, twins move across the country to avoid being accused of the other's crimes, the teaching of evolution has been banned, and royals are always ready with their diamond-encrusted toilet plungers in case a royal flush doesn't work. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Onderkelkia's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Worship of Zeus and Hades.

Onderkelkia is ranked 276,918th in the world and 237th in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Most Average, scoring 18.62 on the Average Standardized Normality Scale.
