The Federated Suns of New Ortaga is a behemoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Archon-Prince Tiberius Corrin with an even hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 50.624 billion Ortagans 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 minute government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Education, with Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Silesia. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient New Ortagan economy, worth an astonishing 10,890 trillion aureuses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 215,132 aureuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Terrorism and assassination are tried-and-true methods of political activism, government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy, arguments about toilet seats being left up or down get surprisingly heated, and search and rescue forces now accept cheques and all major credit cards. Crime is totally unknown. New Ortaga's national animal is the Roumis eagle.

New Ortaga is ranked 6,940^th in the world and 2^nd in Raumreich Oversector for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 489.36 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
