The Federal Republic of Orctavia is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Suleiman with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.474 billion Orctavians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bragenburg. The average income tax rate is 70.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Orctavian economy, worth 233 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 158,735 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The national policy on terrorism is "forgive and forget", televangelists flaunt their expensive cars when they attend charity events, clergy never mention brand names for fear of losing their government subsidies, and corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orctavia's national animal is the Dragons, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Melitharstvo.

Orctavia is ranked 190,869^th in the world and 947^th in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring zero on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
