The State of Otish is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 41.983 billion Otishians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, although Education, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 14.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Otishian economy, worth a remarkable 1,934 trillion betales a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,076 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, paralegals spend all day Hewlett-Packing attorneys' law briefs, commercial jingles have been ham-handedly forced into world renowned symphonies, and glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town. Crime is relatively low. Otish's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Otish is ranked 119,441^st in the world and 1^st in The Vikings for Most Developed, scoring 58.3 on the Human Development Index.
