The Archivist of Fulgur Ovid is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Fulgur Ovid with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, devout population of 4.509 billion Fulgur Ovidians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sheep Farm. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 37.5%.

The thriving Fulgur Ovidian economy, worth 325 trillion yen a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 72,221 yen, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 236,071 per year while the poor average 16,608, a ratio of 14.2 to 1.

Babies living in poverty are told to take responsibility for their own fortunes, the blind lead the blind in social welfare, online terrorists are automatically assigned adverts for cheap balaclavas, and citizens who leave the country are officially classed as traitors. Crime is a serious problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Fulgur Ovid's national animal is the sheep, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Fulgur Ovid is ranked 261,204^th in the world and 1,963^rd in Remembrance for Lowest Crime Rates, with 45.17 law-abiding acts per hour.
