The Grand Imperium of Imperial-Octavia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by The Paramount with an iron fist, and notable for its avant-garde cinema, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.782 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 77.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Octavian economy, worth a remarkable 1,930 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 179,032 Energy Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Pulling weeds is seen as a threat to national security, The Paramount's Dreadnought-class tankbuster limousine is said to have more ammunition than the entire Brancalandian Army, escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, and nobody looks each other in the eye at neighborhood block parties any more. 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 284,749^th in the world and 5^th in Atkemri Puppet storage for Highest Food Quality, scoring 5.09 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
