The Benevolent Protective Empire of Ormea is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Vilhelmo la Unua with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, democratic population of 25.899 billion Ormeans 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Palacaurbo. The average income tax rate is 80.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Ormean economy, worth a remarkable 1,564 trillion Commonwealth Crowns a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 60,396 Commonwealth Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Voting for pro-Bigtopian candidates is voluntary, politicians who misplace decimal points on expense reports are fired for gross incompetence, every week is blindness awareness week, and snap elections are called whenever there's a chance to increase Vilhelmo la Unua's majority. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ormea's national animal is the ridgebacked lemur, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ormea is ranked 6,123^rd in the world and 358^th in Balder for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 7,488.83 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
