The Empire of Occurta is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, free-roaming dinosaurs, and enforced nudity. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.063 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 33.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Anglo-Norse economy, worth 118 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 111,876 Crown Sterlings, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 462,960 per year while the poor average 17,749, a ratio of 26.1 to 1.

Senior professors are allowed to skip the wait at soup kitchens, police frequently raid drugstores in search of contraband bottles of New Spice aftershave, old folks yearn for the days when young people saw bloodthirsty death matches with their own eyes instead of through a screen, and citizens no longer take selfies with their dead relatives at funerals. 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 246,336^th in the world and 4^th in Das Imperiale Reich for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -4.69 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
