The Dictatorship of Othrys is a very large, orderly nation, renowned for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 447 million Othrysians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.9%.

The strong Othrysian economy, worth 21.9 trillion Aegises a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 49,001 Aegises, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

The law says it's okay to sell a bomb to a terrorist so long as they promise not to detonate it, the death penalty has been reintroduced, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Othrys's national animal is the Peregrine eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Othrys is ranked 62,211^th in the world and 3^rd in 0 Lakes for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,457.18 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
