The Federation of New Ottawa Commune is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, sprawling nuclear power plants, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 552 million New Ottawa Communeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social and economic equality; they tend to view other countries as corrupted by the hollow pageantry of sham elections.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Ottawa City. The average income tax rate is 77.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong New Ottawa Communean economy, worth 39.2 trillion rupees 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 Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 71,009 rupees, 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, citizens cannot change their light bulbs without approval from an international committee, the words 'private' and 'enterprise' must never appear in the same sentence, and one does not simply walk into the tundra. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Ottawa Commune's national animal is the Turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

New Ottawa Commune is ranked 100,380^th in the world and 389^th in The Communist Bloc for Highest Average Incomes, with 71,009.72 Standard Monetary Units.
