The Republic of Ohgyze is a tiny, safe nation, remarkable for its burgeoning dog population. The democratic population of 14 million Gyzes 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 39.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Ohgyzean economy, worth 471 billion monies a year, is quite specialized and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 33,713 monies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Cowboys often wear wolfskin jackets to the saloon, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and fashion magazine covers finally display realistic body images following photo-manipulation becoming illegal. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ohgyze's national animal is the dog.

Ohgyze is ranked 217,188^th in the world and 6^th in Vaagot Land for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3.22 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
