The Grand Duchy of Ordivia is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Grand Duke Cross with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, conspicuous electricity pylons, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.536 billion Ordavians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Education also on the agenda, while Welfare isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ordavia city. The average income tax rate is 96.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Ordivian economy, worth a remarkable 2,026 trillion Rubles 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, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 310,034 Rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Petting zoos have loose fingers strewn about, sharks are enjoying their deliveries of canned food, the nation's new religious police burn blasphemers on bonfires of their own books, and sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ordivia's national animal is the Horse, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Church of Cross.

Ordivia is ranked 38,191^st in the world and 2,151^st in Osiris for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,318.55 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
