The Theocracy of Orthopraxos is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Papess Theodora with an iron fist, and renowned for its national health service, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 30.735 billion Orthopraxosans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Jerusalem. The average income tax rate is 91.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Orthopraxosan economy, worth a remarkable 2,934 trillion lire a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 95,493 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The new Refuse Hills housing development is under construction, the only thing slower than the economy is the exchange where it's managed, parents who reward their teens' chores with concert tickets are charged with illegal reselling, and military equipment is being auctioned off to extend comatose centenarians' lives. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orthopraxos's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Monotheistic.

Orthopraxos is ranked 1,808^th in the world and 1^st in Spoiled Cats for Lowest Crime Rates, with 148.6 law-abiding acts per hour.
