The Republic of OTW is a huge, orderly nation, ruled by Louis Chatterham with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 949 million OTWians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Spirituality, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ordo City. The average income tax rate is 18.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The OTWian economy, worth 70.5 trillion Gallo-Germanian Dollars 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 Tourism, Trout Farming, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Cheese Exports. 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 74,268 Gallo-Germanian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prison walls have had to be modified to keep parkour-trained criminals from escaping, the nation operates a "finders-keepers" policy with other nations' citizens, environmentalists are advocating slash-and-burn in the nation's forests, and signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. OTW's national animal is the Duck, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

OTW is ranked 154,607^th in the world and 883^rd in Europe for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 1,449.11 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
