The Grand Bananan Republic of Orcatortugs is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Wawa with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, ubiquitous missile silos, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 10.383 billion Kturtlians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wawatown. The average income tax rate is 91.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Orcatortugan economy, worth a remarkable 1,808 trillion Stars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 174,152 Stars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Orcatortugan watches list strained wrists as a common side effect, the government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy', pop sensation "Jack and the Holograms" is storming the charts, and minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Orcatortugs's national animal is the Whale, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Tortugan.

Orcatortugs is ranked 47,955th in the world and 567th in the West Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 4,430.31 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
