The Grand Imperium of Imperial-Octavia is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by The Mechanator Council with an iron fist, and renowned for its smutty television, ritual sacrifices, and national health service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 15.937 billion Octavians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Octavious. The average income tax rate is 97.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Octavian economy, worth a remarkable 4,835 trillion Energy Coins 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, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. 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 303,443 Energy Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bin lorries have replaced birds as the source of the dawn chorus, everyone apparently sends The Mechanator Council hair-filled lockets, offers to die heroically, and poetic desires to co-parent a child, all writing must pass a censorship board before being allowed on the shelves, and the clergy of Paramount Worship remains a single-sex institution. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Imperial-Octavia's national animal is the Organic, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Paramount Worship.

Imperial-Octavia is ranked 95,897^th in the world and 21^st in F7 Cliches and Community for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,448.1 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
