The Republic of Otepaa is a massive, genial nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, keen interest in outer space, and daily referendums. The compassionate, devout population of 1.154 billion Otepaans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 69.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Otepaan economy, worth 116 trillion Ducats a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 101,372 Ducats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader's former secretary was last sighted on her new yacht, military barracks resemble five-star hotels, weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them, and the annual government yacht trip is sponsored by criminal syndicates. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Otepaa's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Otepaa is ranked 257,898^th in the world and 686^th in Novaya Zemlya for Safest, scoring 25.94 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
