The Empire of Occurta is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its enslaved workforce, frequent executions, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.069 billion Northmen are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of London. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Anglo-Norse economy, worth 119 trillion Crown Sterlings a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 111,380 Crown Sterlings, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 455,277 per year while the poor average 18,040, a ratio of 25.2 to 1.

Citizens no longer take selfies with their dead relatives at funerals, poaching has been on the rise after animals from the nation's zoos were released into the wild, teen parties are often ruined by wet blanket chaperones, and the most common answers to where babies come from are "uh... ask your mother" and "um... ask your father". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Occurta's national animal is the Orca, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Occurta is ranked 53,140^th in the world and 1^st in Das Imperiale Reich for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,864.2 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
