The Angelus Vox Populi of Ordo Malice is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Avakael with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 26.765 billion Ordos are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cambersia. The average income tax rate is 56.0%.

The all-consuming Ordos economy, worth a remarkable 2,383 trillion Halicarnassuses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 89,058 Halicarnassuses, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

War vets look after war animals, internet searches for the inventor of the three-wheeled steam-powered Ordos weed picker are way up, libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, and charged suspects often have to wait years before the courts have room to judge their trial. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ordo Malice's national animal is the White Phoenix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Cruor.

Ordo Malice is ranked 63,220^th in the world and 408^th in Ordo Imperialia for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 119.75 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
