The Arbitary and Capricious of Overthinkers is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Dr George Auguste with a fair hand, and notable for its national health service, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 21.859 billion Overthinkers love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aurum. The average income tax rate is 73.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Overthinking economy, worth a remarkable 1,413 trillion monetary units a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,645 monetary units, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government expresses surprisingly intense opinions on the use of whip pans, the national economy makes a whole lot of nothing, war memorials have been modified to include hammocks for napping, and diplomats agree to the terms and conditions of peace treaties without reading them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Overthinkers's national animal is the owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is hyperanalysis.

Overthinkers is ranked 306,288^th in the world and 2,406^th in the West Pacific for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 22.58 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
