The Estado of Otepec is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Governor Rubén Montes with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 3.191 billion Otepecians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caztaca. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.4%.

The very strong Otepecian economy, worth 208 trillion sols a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 65,259 sols, with the richest citizens earning 8.3 times as much as the poorest.

Governor Rubén Montes has just been declared ruler of Otepec in an international press conference, the 'sing-a-long with Governor Rubén Montes' album is a popular souvenir, more and more students are taking up a career in medicine, and all tariffs have been abolished. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Otepec's national animal is the macaw and its national religion is Catholicism.

Otepec is ranked 104,243^rd in the world and 1^st in Costa Rica for Most Developed, scoring 60.49 on the Human Development Index.
