Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Protectorate of Oriconia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Lord Protector Zakath with an even hand, and remarkable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate population of 5.876 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Defence, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ashan. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

It is illegal to make racist remarks in public, the newspaper industry is subsidised by the government in order to keep it afloat, same-sex marriages are increasingly common, and the lynx is a protected species. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oriconia's national animal is the lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the sovereign.

Oriconia is ranked 4,094th in the Pacific and 100,755th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -50 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
