The Commonwealth of Octivalo is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its national health service, public floggings, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, democratic population of 410 million Octivaloans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 54.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Octivaloan economy, worth 23.5 trillion pilloes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 57,255 pilloes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, bins outnumber trees in city parks, sex offenders find themselves cut off from the ability to repeat their crimes, and the fattest folk in Octivalo look to be the happiest ones. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Octivalo's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Octivalo is ranked 121,587^th in the world and 388^th in Concord for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,725.15 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
