The Most Venerable Polis of Ortigia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Delegates of the Council of Ten with a fair hand, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, ban on automobiles, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.057 billion Ortigians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aretusa. The average income tax rate is 84.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Ortigian economy, worth 118 trillion Drachmas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 112,367 Drachmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, Delegates of the Council of Ten's reputation is hard as nails, nude art is becoming wildly popular, and Ortigians submit requests for a date in writing with an enclosed RSVP card. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ortigia's national animal is the Aquila, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ortigia is ranked 41,408th in the world and 266th in Europe for Most Patriotic, with 31.57 flags saluted per person per day.
