The Apartment of Orvansk is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Marius Pontmercy with an even hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 3.198 billion Orvanski are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marius's New Coat and Hat. The average income tax rate is 70.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Orvanskian economy, worth 177 trillion Orvans a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 55,484 Orvans, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government officials frequently cut taxes as a distraction from antics with their secretaries, there's a lot of mouth-breathers about these days, too many developers spoil the codebase, and farting etiquette is taught in schools. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orvansk's national animal is the Mourning Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Fancy Rats.

Orvansk is ranked 94,312^th in the world and 4,510^th in Balder for Most Authoritarian, with 978.83 milliStalins.
