Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Dictatorship of Ogetarus Imperator Omnis is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its devotion to social welfare. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 799 million are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ogetarus Imperator Omnis City. The average income tax rate is 67%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Tourism and Retail.

Sales of fishnet stockings have reached a record high, many parents are becoming frustrated with their children's choices in spouses, the government has cut taxes in the face of widespread tax evasion, and guns are banned. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Ogetarus Imperator Omnis's national animal is the Imago Ogetari, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Numen Regi.

Ogetarus Imperator Omnis is ranked 958th in the Rejected Realms and 70,455th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -15 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
