The Republic of Otuken is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Başbuğ with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The humorless population of 18.883 billion Türks are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ankara. The average income tax rate is 79.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Türk economy, worth a remarkable 3,817 trillion Altıns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 202,140 Altıns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Social networking sites have discussion groups devoted to planning terrorist attacks, five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars, entomologists flock to Ankara for its remarkable gadfly population, and fifteen-year-olds cannot walk younger siblings to school without a professional Childcare and Education Certificate. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Otuken's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Din.

Otuken is ranked 1,016th in the world and 1st in Turkic Union for Most Developed, scoring 98.55 on the Human Development Index.
