The Oppressed Peoples of Otapezq is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, lack of airports, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.233 billion Otapezqians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 58.7%.
The frighteningly efficient Otapezqian economy, worth 671 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 107,748 Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 371,565 per year while the poor average 22,871, a ratio of 16.2 to 1.
Criminals lock themselves in their mums' basements to avoid prison, prisoners due for execution often use their final statement to complain about soggy bread rolls, goldfish bowls are three metres in diameter, and Leader steals from the rich and gives to the needy. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Otapezq's national animal is the Snake, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Otapezq is ranked 51,865th in the world and 2,835th in Osiris for Most Patriotic, with 30.91 flags saluted per person per day.
