The Emergent Infomesh Ecosystem of Oneron is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by SomNet with a fair hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, daily referendums, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.221 billion Onerans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Industry, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dream City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 42.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Oneric economy, worth 172 trillion Shards a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 141,399 Shards, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

International collectors know that a grease-stain on a work of art probably means it's passed through Oneron, it turns out that you actually can put a price on intangible cultural heritage, Max Barry is this year's Miss Oneron, and visiting the best Oneric restaurants requires keeping a visa on file. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Oneron's national animal is the dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Oneron is ranked 22,326^th in the world and 5^th in The Local Cluster for Nicest Citizens, with 22.05 average smiles per day.
