The Republic of Oriono is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-working, devout population of 269 million Orionites are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, with Spirituality, Education, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Environment and Industry aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.8%.

The strong Orionite economy, worth 17.8 trillion Orionite dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 66,344 Orionite dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 206,200 per year while the poor average 16,421, a ratio of 12.6 to 1.

Political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations, nudity is frowned upon, military spending is on the increase, and busy commuters no longer hear the cries of "I want some more!" on the nation's streets. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Oriono's national animal is the wolf, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Oriono is ranked 77,780^th in the world and 3,778^th in Osiris for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50.99 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
