The Senate and People of Orrovia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Consul Don Marcu Roveu Orvenazzi with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and fear of technology. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 18.525 billion Orroviani are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Orvenazzu. The average income tax rate is 7.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Orrovianu economy, worth a remarkable 3,421 trillion Denars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 184,718 Denars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

People who have lived their entire lives in Orrovia are shocked to discover that they are not citizens, court cases mostly involve lawyers shouting questions at witnesses giving silent shrugs, the prevalence of circular logic frequently renders parliamentary observers dizzy, and trails to natural wonders are littered with trash from reality film crews. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orrovia's national animal is the peregrine falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Trabadian Rite.

Orrovia is ranked 283,506th in the world and 89th in Catholic for Highest Food Quality, scoring 5.2 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
