The Democratic Republic of Ocharlicum is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Noustous with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 18.548 billion Ocharlians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moruchilca. The average income tax rate is 85.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Ocharlicumian economy, worth a remarkable 1,405 trillion Charlis a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 75,774 Charlis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The government is constantly producing new maps to accommodate the continual renaming of cities, solid-gold toilets are Ocharlicumian prisons' least expensive furnishings, citizens praise the weeds that overwhelm their narrow vegetable realm, and citizens are required to report any and all incidents of prayer to their local Religious Affairs Officer. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ocharlicum's national animal is the Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Z.

Ocharlicum is ranked 5,446^th in the world and 2^nd in Caelum for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 79.61 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
