The Federal Republic of Orctavia is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Suleiman with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and infamous sell-swords. The democratic, devout population of 1.479 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 69.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Orctavian economy, worth 236 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 160,079 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The might of the entire Orctavian Navy is focused on fifty bemused spear-throwing islanders, colonials are offended to find a local animal has been re-named the 'Furry Four-Legged Marsupial Dragons', soldiers on first dates introduce themselves only by their ranks and serial numbers, and the deaf are perplexed when the weather report tells them that the wind will be "bringing some rain along the Nazi ghosts". 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 43,002^nd in the world and 596^th in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 725.86 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
