The Most Venerable Polis of Ortigia is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Delegates of the Council of Ten with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.008 billion Ortigians 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 large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aretusa. The average income tax rate is 83.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Ortigian economy, worth 114 trillion Drachmas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 113,497 Drachmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, former stunt pilots are unable to pass the licence test to fly a drone, and 'A is for Annulment' is a popular children's song. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ortigia's national animal is the Aquila, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Ortigia is ranked 242,368th in the world and 1,129th in Europe for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -6.63 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
