General Planet Climate: It is a water-covered planet with only a couple very small islands. Minerals in the water give it an almost violet hue when looking at the view.
Population Levels: It has a moderate population.
Standard of Living: It is difficult to achieve a status other than middle class on the planet Ortho, but the middle class is very comfortable.
Main Export: The people on the planet think of themselves as exporters of laws and ideas, but most other people ignore them. It isn't that the people on Ortho don't have worthwhile ideas to contribute. It is just that there is too much red tape that they have to walk through to actually obtain the ideas.
Relation to the Central Government: The people of Ortho think that they fall in line with the established government above and beyond what is expected. They feel that it would be best if their planet ran the show, but are content with their current position. There is practically no rebellion found on Ortho.
Religion: There is an official state religion mostly structured around following and upholding the law. It teaches people to take the appropriate steps neccessary to maintain order, and to trudge on despite how pointless your task in life may seem.
Other History: Ortho was first established as a remote place to set up legal headquarters that would not be worth taking over for other reasons, due to the lack of dry land on the planet. It has since overgrown the confines of the land and now several large floating cities exist out on the ocean. A few places have established underwater cities as well, but people tend to shy away from those due to the sense of claustrophobia they exude.
Ortho has become a place of overbearing bureaucracy. While most things are technically legal, you have to fill out so many forms and such, that people are almost always dissuaded. People here tend to be bland and have a lot of pride for their planet.
