The Republic of OTW is a huge, orderly nation, ruled by Louis Chatterham with an iron fist, and remarkable for its triple-decker prams, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 956 million OTWians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Spirituality, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ordo City. The average income tax rate is 18.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong OTWian economy, worth 73.1 trillion Gallo-Germanian Dollars 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 Tourism, Trout Farming, Cheese Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. 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 76,494 Gallo-Germanian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

In a desperate bid for cheap airfare OTWians can be seen jogging in a rubber suit just before flying, the nation doesn't need to go to war in order to acquire new territory, raver DJ XStacy holds multiple medical degrees in chillaxing, and disaster relief budgets are growing like wildfire. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. OTW's national animal is the Duck, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

OTW is ranked 38,210^th in the world and 228^th in Europe for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 5,094.17 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
