The Grand Imperium of Imperial-Octavia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by The Paramount with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, state-planned economy, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.581 billion Octavians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Octavious. The average income tax rate is 77.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Octavian economy, worth a remarkable 1,875 trillion Energy Coins 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, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. 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 177,212 Energy Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.
Military spending recently hit a new high, all guns must be registered, minefields are being deployed along the border to discourage potential emigrants from trying to leave, and chain-gangs are often seen toting barges and lifting bales. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Imperial-Octavia's national animal is the Organic, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Paramount Worship.
Imperial-Octavia is ranked 66,626th in the world and 1st in Atkemri Puppet storage for Most Stationary, with 720.99923994908 days.
