The Democratic Republic of Ocharlicum is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Noustous with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 13.358 billion Ocharlians 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 enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moruchilca. The average income tax rate is 85.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Ocharlicumian economy, worth 992 trillion Charlis a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 74,329 Charlis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Moruchilca's main city thoroughfare has been blocked by a row of leyland cypresses that mysteriously appeared overnight, kids are taught in schools to argue with their parents, political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Noustous's throne, and the government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ocharlicum's national animal is the Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Z.

Ocharlicum is ranked 19,641^st in the world and 2^nd in Caelum for Lowest Crime Rates, with 90.01 law-abiding acts per hour.
