The Siberian Coldfront of Ochotsk is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 35.96 billion Ochotskians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ochotsk. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 50.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Ochotskian economy, worth a remarkable 6,628 trillion red stars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 184,343 red stars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 574,497 per year while the poor average 45,448, a ratio of 12.6 to 1.

Marine biology students are shocked to discover that a whale is a mammal, the government single-handedly sustains the bunk bed market, patch v22.1705 - all developers are now paid for work, and diplomats agree to the terms and conditions of peace treaties without reading them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ochotsk's national animal is the siberian tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ochotsk is ranked 174,317^th in the world and 3^rd in Siberia for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 157.34 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
