The Empire of Onderkelkia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Hair Broom with an iron fist, and remarkable for its flagrant waste-dumping, ubiquitous missile silos, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 43.001 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, with Law & Order also on the agenda, while Environment and Social Policy aren't funded at all. 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 15,976 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 371,537 Sovereigns, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,960,243 per year while the poor average 37,461, a ratio of 52.3 to 1.

Escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, comedians who make offensive jokes have their ticket proceeds seized, loudmouthed journalists are given the chop, and weather forecasts regularly cover meteor showers. 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 303,712th in the world and 262nd in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Most Developed, scoring 42.58 on the Human Development Index.
