The Freewheelin' Otters of Sysop is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Otter Otterton with a fair hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, enforced nudity, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 20.335 billion Sysopians enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The tiny, moralistic, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, with Education, Industry, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sekret Lair. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.0%.

The powerhouse Sysopian economy, worth a remarkable 1,458 trillion stones 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 slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Cheese Exports. 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 71,708 stones, with the richest citizens earning 7.8 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens who don't meet government health standards are whisked away never to be seen again, internet service is too costly for normal people to purchase, mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest growing field, and Otter Otterton has just been declared ruler of Sysop in an international press conference. Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Sysop's national animal is the quixotical otter, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Sysop is ranked 168,813^th in the world and 1^st in LUE for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 7,318.27 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
