The Absolute Insanity of East Oth is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by King Copland with an iron fist, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, avant-garde cinema, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.26 billion East Othians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Coplandgrad. The average income tax rate is 96.9%.

The frighteningly efficient East Othian economy, worth a remarkable 1,227 trillion Oth Bucks 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. 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 an amazing 288,074 Oth Bucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's a bustling black market for vegetables, parties that are too noisy are broken up to prevent disturbing wildlife, citizens no longer take selfies with their dead relatives at funerals, and children are strong-armed by police into eating their greens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. East Oth's national animal is the Oth Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Coplandism.

East Oth is ranked 321,686^th in the world and 34^th in Antarctica for Safest, scoring 5.96 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
