The Democratic Republic of Ortaria is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Libra Vale with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 2.258 billion Ortarians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Ortarian economy, worth 296 trillion kromers a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 131,529 kromers, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 799,941 per year while the poor average 9,597, a ratio of 83.3 to 1.

Surrealist houses shaped like mushrooms and volcanoes dominate the wealthiest neighborhoods, the lives of former ski town residents are going downhill, there is one competing standard, and the commercialisation of highly deadly weapons has instilled Ortaria with a very polite populace. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Ortaria's national animal is the Jellyfish, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Ortaria is ranked 35,799^th in the world and 14^th in Benigtopia for Highest Average Incomes, with 131,529.98 Standard Monetary Units.
