The Republic of Orioni I is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its burgeoning star population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 16.129 billion Orioniis enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The medium-sized, liberal, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Social Policy, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 21.0%.

The thriving Orioni Iian economy, worth 865 trillion ions a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 53,634 ions, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 189,848 per year while the poor average 10,940, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Animal Liberationists are regularly jailed, military spending is on the increase, same-sex marriages are increasingly common, and a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Orioni I's national animal is the star.

Orioni I is ranked 96,556^th in the world and 32^nd in Orioni for Highest Food Quality, scoring 23.72 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
