The United Federal Protectorate of Civa-Orchestra is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Lord-Protector Abdus Salaam Abad with a fair hand, and notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 3.421 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Orchestrai. The average income tax rate is 72%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

The government has begun breaking all large businesses into thousands of mom-and-pop general stores, students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas, the government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system, and government-run screening operations remove embryos with severe genetic disorders. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Civa-Orchestra's national animal is the Orcinus Orca, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Deism, and its currency is the Orchai.

Civa-Orchestra is ranked 1st in Tiaga and 1,634th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 9 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
