The Socialist Armed Republic of Ofristan is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Supreme General Castle Bravo Mendsaikhan with an iron fist, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, triple-decker prams, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.129 billion Ofristanics 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 juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ofrisburg. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 78.7%.

The very strong Ofristanic economy, worth 123 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 108,984 marks, with the richest citizens earning 9.9 times as much as the poorest.

Several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, young adults are stepping outside for the first time in ages after video games were recently banned, state dairy cow's milk is a shear-thickening fluid that can stop small-caliber bullets, and the police have been swamped with requests to stay up past bedtime. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ofristan's national animal is the bison, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Leader Worship.

Ofristan is ranked 38,829^th in the world and 630^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 5,330.21 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
