The People's Republic of Othotskiya is a tiny, safe nation, remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 14 million Othotskiyans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 69.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The struggling Othotskiyan economy, worth 253 billion Rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Trout Farming. Average income is 18,132 Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Othotskiya's free colleges struggle to maintain standards in the face of overwhelming demand, battlefield gains are quickly lost when enemies don't respect a time-out, running away is an essential part of the elite forces' hand-to-hand training, and minor code style errors dull the house edge. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Othotskiya's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Othotskiya is ranked 203,888^th in the world and 719^th in Concord for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 1,207.57 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
