The Paradimensional Vaults of The Data Hoard of the Overseer is a huge, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, disturbing lack of elderly people, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 771 million sentient trinkets 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Terminus Archives. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Hoarded economy, worth 83.7 trillion Bytes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 108,561 Bytes, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 810,576 per year while the poor average 4,248, a ratio of 190 to 1.

Package deals offer tourists the chance to visit the frozen remains of the previous tour group, protecting the land is holey work, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to Terminus Archives to enjoy their national art. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Data Hoard of the Overseer's national animal is the Data-Gheist, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Data Hoard of the Overseer is ranked 280,759th in the world and 52nd in Lair of the Dragon for Highest Poor Incomes, with 4,248.84 Standard Monetary Units.
