The Technocratic Jacobin State of Orthlandia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by prīnceps cīvitātis Lucīanus with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, pith helmet sales, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.67 billion Ōrtharōrum 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 government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ōrthā. The average income tax rate is 67.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Ōrtharī economy, worth a remarkable 1,282 trillion dēnāriuses 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. 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 amazing 226,104 dēnāriuses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The new iVote app allows representatives to vote on legislation by launching ill-tempered birds and matching candies, men avoid even so much as looking at female colleagues, only native-born Ōrtharōrum who have never left the nation are permitted to run for office, and evenings at university debating societies often end with everyone acknowledging both sides may well be right. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orthlandia's national animal is the Aquila, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is State Atheism.
Orthlandia is ranked 36,249th in the world and 16th in Caer Sidi for Smartest Citizens, with 48.49 quips per hour.
