The Politically Incorrect Nation of Civa-Orchestra is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Lord-Protector Cyrus Khovar-Vostaym with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 5.574 billion live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Commerce, Education, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Orchestrai. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Information Technology and Gambling.

Commuter vessels have trouble staying afloat due to increased passengers, surveillance cameras are banned, university graduates and new home-owners toil in labour camps to work off their debts, and flash floods that dams could have controlled regularly ravage small towns in mountain valleys. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. 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 11th in The Realm of Alterra and 34,783rd in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 23 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
