The Empire of Or-Tevel is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Emperor Edelweiss the First with a fair hand, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, infamous sell-swords, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 14.873 billion Or-Tevelites are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lux Aeterna. The average income tax rate is 90.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Or-Tevelian economy, worth a remarkable 1,991 trillion omnicredits a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 133,901 omnicredits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Passengers often cause a stink on public transport, the fate of the world literally rests on Emperor Edelweiss the First's fingers, populations of two-headed ligers have been found around recently-uncovered archaeological sites, and gaping tourists take long-distance photos of diseased natives on "indigenous peoples" safari tours. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Or-Tevel's national animal is the liger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Or-Tevel is ranked 81,304^th in the world and 8^th in East Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 351.39 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
