The Imperial Union of States of Oneid is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Tomas Lovekost with an iron fist, and notable for its enslaved workforce, flagrant waste-dumping, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.672 billion Oneidians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shanghai. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 58.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Oneidian economy, worth 431 trillion Dolars a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 161,620 Dolars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 616,678 per year while the poor average 29,304, a ratio of 21.0 to 1.

Several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, artists are pillars of society, libraries are refusing to stock A Midsummer Night's Dream because it has an ass in it, and mollycoddled youths run the country. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oneid's national animal is the Cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Empty Gods.

Oneid is ranked 215,291^st in the world and 287^th in Oneid for Most Popular Tourist Destinations, with 11.07 Tourists Per Hour.
