The Principality of Oranjeiland is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its national health service, compulsory military service, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 318 million Oranjians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Henrikbul. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 47.0%.

The powerhouse Oranjian economy, worth 25.2 trillion rand a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is 79,358 rand, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 283,404 per year while the poor average 15,968, a ratio of 17.7 to 1.

Oranjeiland has been recently classified as an international menace after 'liberating' several nearby territories, advert breaks are played at lower volumes to make them easier to ignore, customs officers pretend not to hear shouts of "HELP LET ME OUT!" emerging from diplomatic bags, and popular candidates who don't suffer last-second political scandals tend to get fished out of the Henrikbul River. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oranjeiland's national animal is the crowned-and-armed lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Oranjeiland is ranked 7,587th in the world and 127th in The North Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring 101.18 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
