The People's Republic of Orthy is a huge, genial nation, notable for its compulsory military service, hatred of cheese, and punitive income tax rates. The quiet, industrious population of 287 million Orthans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 60.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Orthyian economy, worth 11.5 trillion Dinars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,907 Dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation was recently voted as the most stylish in Council of Nations, parents often ask to see a credit report before lending money to their own children, X-Files ratings have hit an all-time low, and Leader is famed for giving great back rubs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orthy's national animal is the Harpy Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Orthy is ranked 68,632^nd in the world and 17^th in Council of Nations for Highest Food Quality, scoring 28.98 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
