The Grand Dominion of Sortv is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Archon Valorum Arcton 👑 with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and frequent executions. The compassionate, devout population of 2.22 billion Sortvians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Drakenburg 🌃. The average income tax rate is 76.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sortvian economy, worth 239 trillion Crownstone 🪙s a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 108,050 Crownstone 🪙s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Older ladies are inundated with offers to help them cross the road, the end of communism came with retail rather than revolution, every day has been a surprise since weather reporters turned to consulting ancient totems for their seven-day forecasts, and autopsies often involve only cursory examination. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sortv's national animal is the Eagle 🦅, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity ✝️.

Sortv is ranked 15,469^th in the world and 4^th in Brasil1 for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,983.2 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
