The Empire of Ortodoxo is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Bolsonaro with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, suspicion of poets, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 4.941 billion Ortodoxoans enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The tiny, corrupt, liberal, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rio de Janeiro. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Ortodoxoan economy, worth 937 trillion Réis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 189,746 Réis, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,237,234 per year while the poor average 11,516, a ratio of 107 to 1.

Tourists often cite 'hiding money in an off-shore banking account' as their main reason to visit the nation, pictures of government employees with expensive Pearbooks 'working' on exotic beaches dominate local tabloids, interest rates mysteriously drop whenever the CBO Governor goes house hunting, and vanity is considered the fifth cardinal virtue. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ortodoxo's national animal is the Harpia harpyja, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Protestantismo.

Ortodoxo is ranked 287,777th in the world and 70th in Arakeia for Most Authoritarian, with 108.07 milliStalins.
