The Grand Bananan Republic of Orcatortugs is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Wawa with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, keen interest in outer space, and national health service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 12.93 billion Kturtlians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wawatown. The average income tax rate is 94.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Orcatortugan economy, worth a remarkable 2,613 trillion Stars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 202,130 Stars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Military pistols are more secure than the national treasury, Orcatortugan tourists are encouraged to hand out spare condoms to locals while on vacation, legal contracts aren't worth the paper they're written on, and the only women behind bars are barmaids. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Orcatortugs's national animal is the Whale, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Tortugan.

Orcatortugs is ranked 57,475th in the world and 381st in the West Pacific for Nudest, with 202.25 cheeks per square mile.
