The Holy Republic of Orca and Narwhal is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Santa Claus with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and compulsory military service. The compassionate population of 14.883 billion Orca and Narwhalians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggdrassil. The average income tax rate is 95.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Orca and Narwhalian economy, worth a remarkable 1,885 trillion Gold Bars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 126,666 Gold Bars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Crime is on the rise as DNA sampling has been all but outlawed, Santa Claus's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success, an online tea-bagging epidemic is getting worse and (meta)worse, and roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orca and Narwhal's national animal is the Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Orca and Narwhal is ranked 53,477th in the world and 40th in Sparkalia for Most Patriotic, with 26.05 flags saluted per person per day.
