The Peculiar Nation of Otherland is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Shrelby Welby with an even hand, and renowned for its soft-spoken computers, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.472 billion Otherlings are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jaté Ger̃ek. The average income tax rate is 81.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Otherling economy, worth 117 trillion Sand Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming and Book Publishing. Average income is 79,883 Sand Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Noises louder than a whisper have been prohibited by law, earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss, a suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League, and there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Otherland's national animal is the Cassowary, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Otherland is ranked 287,715th in the world and 259th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Primitive, scoring -233 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
