The Malice of The Overseer is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by The Overseer with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory vegetarianism, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 26.84 billion Acolytes are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Environment, and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Education is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Hideout. The average income tax rate is 74.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Overseerian economy, worth a remarkable 2,383 trillion nulls a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 88,788 nulls, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The church encourages double-dipping, the weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme, children who display even minimal sporting aptitude are immediately assigned a personal trainer, and most people think algebra is something a mermaid wears. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. The Overseer's national animal is the void, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cult of Malice.

The Overseer is ranked 342,481^st in the world and 190^th in The Brotherhood of Malice for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -11.87 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
