The Three Clans of Ovisnia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Praetor Maximus Noecellis with an iron fist, and renowned for its teetotalling pirates, anti-smoking policies, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.052 billion Ovisnians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nivis. The average income tax rate is 93.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Ovisnian economy, worth 245 trillion Nias a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 119,785 Nias, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Burnt-out forty-foot-tall wicker men dot the countryside, the freedom to be free is always just out of reach, Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, and every workday begins with group therapy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ovisnia's national animal is the Wildcat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Aequllibrium.

Ovisnia is ranked 165,885th in the world and 91st in Declansburg for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 1,472.34 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
