The Republic of Off-piste Skier is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, frequent executions, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.599 billion Off-piste Skierians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, although Education, Healthcare, and International Aid are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 41.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Off-piste Skierian economy, worth 40.1 trillion snows 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 Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, Cheese 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 25,049 snows, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Soldiers with colourful mohawks make themselves perfect targets for snipers, the news is showing footage of Leader bullying an old man to the point of tears, internet trolls are considered valiant supporters of the right to free speech, and the fishing lobby has stemmed the tide of environmental regulations. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Off-piste Skier's national animal is the Skier, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Off-piste Skier is ranked 124,141^st in the world and 1^st in Nationstates Ski Resort for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,116.02 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
