“To truly know a man you must spy on him.”

The Sultanate of Ottoman Franks is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol. Its compassionate, cynical population of 281 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.

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt morass -- concentrates mainly on Education, although the Environment and Social Equality are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 37%, but much higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Every citizen must submit to DNA testing to be eliminated from police inquiries, fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, the world outside is only known of in folklore, and all footpaths have tollbooths. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ottoman Franks's national animal is the very red duck, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the cashflows.

Ottoman Franks is ranked 730th in the region and 48,521st in the world for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector.
