The Incorporated States of Nation of Orchid is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Orchid Rodgers-Murray with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, daily referendums, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate population of 4.103 billion Orchidians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pittiesburgh. The average income tax rate is 88.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Orchidiander economy, worth 478 trillion Dog treats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 116,668 Dog treats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A niche industry catering to S&M enthusiasts has sprung up, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, the government has little issue with allowing its citizens to languish in foreign jails, and it's been a banner year for local vexillology. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nation of Orchid's national animal is the pitbull, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Orthodox Church of Pitbulism.

Nation of Orchid is ranked 223,876^th in the world and 9,105^th in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -9.81 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
