The Three Clans of Ovisnia is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by Praetor Maximus Noecellis with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 765 million Ovisnians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nivis. The average income tax rate is 85.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Ovisnian economy, worth 78.5 trillion Nias 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 slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. 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 102,644 Nias, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The Forestry Department has decided you really can't fight fire with fire, the Federal Council of Ovisnia has been announced as the new Head of State, shaken martini sales have soared in nations surrounding Ovisnia, and annulments are on the rise as couples discover their ancestors were born in the same hospitals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ovisnia's national animal is the Wildcat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ovisnia is ranked 85,722^nd in the world and 152^nd in Declansburg for Safest, scoring 88.44 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
