The Federation of Oktadonia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by President Herman Herlems with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, digital currency, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.157 billion Oktadonians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valuria. The average income tax rate is 85.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Oktadonian economy, worth 729 trillion Rovas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is 89,458 Rovas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Undersea volcanoes receive strongly worded letters for violating environmental regulations, a recent political speech drew the ire of nerds everywhere after the speaker claimed that Darth Vader was Harry Potter's father, no one believes anything until it has been strenuously tested and peer-reviewed, and a traveller who once stubbed a toe on an Air Brancaland flight has been offered asylum. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oktadonia's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Oktadonia is ranked 35,923^rd in the world and 88^th in Conch Kingdom for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 5,049.48 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
