The Grand Imperium of Imperial-Octavia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Mechanator Council with an iron fist, and remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, anti-smoking policies, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 12.004 billion Octavians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Octavious. The average income tax rate is 79.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Octavian economy, worth a remarkable 2,255 trillion Energy Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 187,936 Energy Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Sending sick politicians "Get Well Soon" cards is considered bribery, government bureaucrats shut down teenage yard-raking businesses for being counter-revolutionary, the nation's government buildings are remarkable for being ugly concrete boxes, and people's charity begins and ends at home. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Imperial-Octavia's national animal is the Organic, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Paramount Worship.

Imperial-Octavia is ranked 47,698^th in the world and 1^st in Atkemri Puppet storage for Most Extreme, scoring 32.32 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
