The Oralat Virtual Utopia controls around 100 million stars within [[Iriat]], a former satellite galaxy of [[Florathel]] which has not been fully consumed by its parent. Because of this, star forming has ran rampant, forming a huge number of large stars perfect for building megastructures around. The OVU has also made some forays into the nearby Minor Iriat Clouds, who are somewhat badly named because they are perfectly normal nebulae and entirely unrelated to the Iriat Cloud itself. However, these efforts have not done that much. |

The OVU is divided into a large number of individually governed states, each centered around a particularly large matryoshka brain. Each state has more population than the entire flesh-and-blood population of the universe because of how little physical living space an uploaded mind requires. This huge population means that each state must be further subdivided into sectors, each of which is locally governed by elected officials. |

Darakett is very close to being the only actual planet in the OVU, as the vast majority of planets in their territory were disassembled to construct the vast megastructures found around nearly every star. It is widely considered to be among the most beautiful planets in the galaxy, and is home to a great number of cities scattered across the planet. |

The government of the OVU is wildly variable due to its uncountably large population. In some places it is a monarchy, in others it is a direct democracy, in others it is an autocracy. The OVU is not really united at all, which confuses many students of history. However, in the regions nearest to Darakett, it seems to be generally a direct democracy, and is classified as such in most papers that mention it. |

Then, special ships fly out to the ruins of the enemy fleet to harvest the resources present there. |

Oralat Virtual Utopia

9184 CE
1.0
The Oralat Virtual Utopia is among the most reclusive nations in Florathel. It is located within the Xeros System, a low-mass star system that can be found close to the edge of Tchernaya near Argano. The OVU is near to the Toralaskis prefect of Marakat as well as Seldrin-Darusa, though there fact that there is little communication between them. The OVU's connection point to the real universe is found on the planet Darakett, and this is seen as its capital to the other nations of Florathel. Oralat, as it is known, is a refuge for machines and artificial intelligences long persecuted by other nations.
Its founders were semantic dynamos created by Kalliolel and their loyal followers. Most of the population takes on the form of Nachleben, those who have taken their souls and affixed them to a machine. The energy draw to maintain nachleben is immense, forcing Oralat to create massive solar arrays.
Area
The Oralat Virtual Utopia controls the entirety of the Xeros System, converting its resources into enormous massive computers and other megastructures in the system. The system is filled with thousands massive defense platforms, its inhabitants well aware of their reputation. All defensive structure are linked together into an enormous computer known as the Gannet Complex. Most of the population is directly connected to the Gannet Complex as well.
Capital
The "capital" of the OVU, if any place can be said to hold the title, is the ancient planet of Darakett. Darakett is the adopted homeworld of the OVU's primary "species," the Oralat, and has the highest non-uploaded population, around two million tech enthusiasts hoping to be uploaded. The OVU is functionally very decentralized aside from foreign relations, where its official policy of total silence is non-negotiable. Darakett is widely considered to be among the most beautiful planets in the galaxy, with machines from every time period refurbished and tending to its empty manicured parks, clean deserted streets, and its pristine architecture.
Government
The government in the OVU is mostly anarchic within its vast computer banks, where people are free to do literally whatever they want. It is not clear what the Oralat spend their time doing, whether it is living out fictional lives or competing with one another in esoteric games. The only true governance in the nation is among the physical people of Darakett and the surrounding asteroids. These people are few but are the only window into the OVU that outsiders have, though they tend to be tight-lipped. Despite their refusal to interact with the outside world, a large number of embassies have been built on Darakett, perhaps as an inside joke, game, honest invitation, or emergency measure. About a dozen ambassadors from the United Nations of Florathel live within these embassies, though it is considered a dead-end post and is very undesirable.
