The State of Ocht is a titanic, pleasant nation, ruled by the Governor with an even hand, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 21.845 billion Ochtians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. The average income tax rate is 23.1%.

The Ochtian economy, worth 851 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 38,991 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Ocht has designated Westminster as its capital city, The Governor has just been declared ruler of Ocht in an international press conference, and the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ocht's national animal is the deer.

Ocht is ranked 210,952^nd in the world and 1^st in The Central Atlantic for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3.16 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
