The Kingdom of Sortilege is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.906 billion Sortilegeans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.6%.

The thriving Sortilegean economy, worth 128 trillion Kinkois a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Average income is 67,466 Kinkois, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 238,811 per year while the poor average 13,761, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Sortilege's national animal is the Vulture, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Sortilege is ranked 4,659^th in the world and 234^th in Osiris for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 6,673.74 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
