The Holy Empire of Otfes is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Air Learner with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.487 billion Otfesians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Krustopol. The average income tax rate is 96.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Otfesian economy, worth a remarkable 1,393 trillion emeralds a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 253,998 emeralds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every new toxic waste dump comes with a seal of approval from the government's science advisor, the "Dreadnowt" is the pride and joy of the Otfesian Navy, fake beard sales are on the rise amongst female commuters, and soldiers are "encouraged" to advance by armed officers behind them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Otfes's national animal is the phantom, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Ortodox Christianity.

Otfes is ranked 151,693rd in the world and 1st in Imperial Security Alliance for Safest, scoring 61.24 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
