The Three Clans of Ovisnia is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 753 million Ovisnians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, 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 85.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Ovisnian economy, worth 77.1 trillion Nias 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. 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 an impressive 102,419 Nias, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The phrase 'spreading like wildfire' is no longer in the public lexicon, endangered bison are herded across the border to prevent them from trampling on native prairie grass, many of the unemployed have had the fight taken out of them, and the Forestry Department has decided you really can't fight fire with fire. 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.

Ovisnia is ranked 14,758^th in the world and 32^nd in Declansburg for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,247.87 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
