The People's Republic of Otto Ludwig Piffl is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 30.323 billion Piffls 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 large, moralistic, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Industry. The average income tax rate is 36.7%.

The strong Otto Ludwig Piffl economy, worth 584 trillion Coca-Colas a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports and Soda Sales. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 19,277 Coca-Colas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Elections have been outlawed. Crime is a problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Otto Ludwig Piffl's national animal is the Scarlett Hazeltine, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Otto Ludwig Piffl is ranked 142,045^th in the world and 1^st in The IWW for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
