The Loving Couple of TooMany-Options- is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Beefy Bob with an iron fist, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, compulsory military service, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.67 billion TooMany-Options-ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Owl House. The average income tax rate is 36.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming TooMany-Options-ian economy, worth 374 trillion snails a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 80,178 snails, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The average commuter spends four hours a day driving to and from work, diners regard burgers made from mechanically reclaimed cow protein as "proper meat", professionals are ready to retire by the time they receive permission to use their credentials, and first-time moms are expected to be experienced parents from day one. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TooMany-Options-'s national animal is the owl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Cards.

TooMany-Options- is ranked 196,767th in the world and 6th in An Island In Space for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -3.16 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
