The Free State of Panzer Otto is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Marshal Markus Briand with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 9.847 billion Panzer Ottoans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Public Transport. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Andreisburg. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.2%.

The very strong Panzer Ottoan economy, worth 640 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 65,017 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 185,585 per year while the poor average 18,154, a ratio of 10.2 to 1.

The canal flows through the land like a twisty turny thing, surgical tape has taken on a distinctly red color, there are no bananas today in Panzer Otto, and marijuana is legal in the privacy of your own home. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Panzer Otto's national animal is the otter, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Dalism.

Panzer Otto is ranked 209,025^th in the world and 3,244^th in the Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 8.98 average smiles per day.
