The Oralat Virtual Utopia controls the entirety of the [[Xeros System]], converting its resources into enormous Matrioshka Brains and other megastructures in the system.

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. |

The OVU has no traditional military. However, it has invested heavily in defensive architecture. One such example is the capability of most of the various matriyoshka dyson swarms in its territory to rapidly rearrange into Nicoll-Dyson Beams, enabling the destruction of any attacking fleet. Then, special ships fly out to the ruins of the enemy fleet to harvest the resources present there. |

Template:!Nation InfoboxThe 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 beyond the edge of the Cosmorian disk near Argano. The OVU is near to the Toralaskis prefect of Marakat as well as the Seldrin-Darusa state of Dereshan, despite the 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.
Area
The Oralat Virtual Utopia controls the entirety of the Xeros System, converting its resources into enormous Matrioshka Brains and other megastructures in the system. The system is filled with thousands of planetary masses' worth of satellites, linked together into an enormous computer known as the Gannet Matrioshka, where the vast majority of the population can be found.
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. The OVU is functionally very decentralized aside from foreign relations, and the only government functions here are embassies. Darakett 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.

Government
The government in the OVU is mostly anarchic within its vast computer banks, where people are free to do literally whatever they want. Some groups craft enormous cities to live in, while others create simulated garden worlds of completely fictional life. The only true governance in the nation is among the physical people of Darakett and the surrounding asteroids. These people are few, and are mostly disconnected from the simulated societies of the Matrioshka. On the far side of Darakett there lies a complex of embassies to various nations, particularly Marakat and Seldrin-Dariusa, populated by real-world "avatars" of specific people uploaded on the Gannet Matrioshka chosen specifically to safeguard the infinite freedom of the matrioshka brain.
Defense
Past the farthest glimmer of the light of Xeros and past the most distant satellites of the Gannet Matrioshka lies a swarm of defense stations. Assembled millions of years ago on the final stretch of the Great Trek from Isra, they were intended to rebuff the chaos of the Years of Fire and anyone who wanted their island of safety. They were never used because of Xeros' sheer distance, and no one has truly tested their effectiveness.
Society
Because of the absurdly large size of the OVU, nothing consistent can be said about its society. Individuals uploaded into the many matrioshka brains of the nation have chosen to be every species in the universe, plus millions of others which were invented by members of the nation. However, one thing can be said about this. The vast majority of the population of the OVU is perfectly fine with mind uploading, although that has been already said by the name of the nation. Within the endless computers of the Oralat Virtual Utopia, one can find almost anything.
