The Commonwealth of Otcodott is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The cynical population of 384 million Otcodottians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Hope. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.2%.

The Otcodottian economy, worth 17.2 trillion Otcodollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,686 Otcodollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

Diplomatic missions typically end with a flurry of childish insults, accusations and phlegm, the national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall, retail stores are known for creating their own oddly-similar holidays in the months preceding any major festivity, and foreign lack of enthusiasm for Otcodottian nose-flute disco metal is seen as a reasonable casus belli. Crime is moderate. Otcodott's national animal is the leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Otcodott is ranked 165,293^rd in the world and 2,934^th in The East Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 436.54 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
