The Rare Sighting of Onfande is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Michel Vouire with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 13.28 billion Onfandites have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Palais d'Arques. The average income tax rate is 33.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Onfandite economy, worth a remarkable 2,635 trillion Onfandite Platines a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 198,487 Onfandite Platines, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Condos feature wall-mounted cages containing endangered animals, tourists are flocking to the newly-built MeteorLand family resort, towns that stop turning a profit are turned into animal sanctuaries, and students do more community service than homework. Crime is totally unknown. Onfande's national animal is the Southern Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Onfande is ranked 116,924^th in the world and 120^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,311.81 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
