The Grand Duchy of Ordivia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Duke Cross with an iron fist, and renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, ubiquitous missile silos, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.964 billion Ordavians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ordavia city. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Ordavian economy, worth 749 trillion Rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 252,911 Rubles, with the richest citizens earning 8.6 times as much as the poorest.

Excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, the government considers it a sacred duty to video bikini-clad beach swimmers, children seem to be getting better at lying these days, and anyone found to be unemployed is shipped off to Brasilistan with a gun and a spade. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ordivia's national animal is the Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Church of Cross.

Ordivia is ranked 4,916^th in the world and 1^st in The Frontier for Largest Governments, scoring 43.54 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
