The Siberian Coldfront of Ochotsk is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 36.057 billion Ochotskians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ochotsk. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 51.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Ochotskian economy, worth a remarkable 6,625 trillion red stars 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. 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 183,759 red stars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 570,025 per year while the poor average 45,609, a ratio of 12.5 to 1.

Prosecutors are tucked into bed by the household police officer, Leader isn't a national brand, exiles see that the line where the sky meets the sea is just clouds and rain, and a suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ochotsk's national animal is the siberian tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ochotsk is ranked 318,825th in the world and 7th in Siberia for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -9.91 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
