The Republic of Ordah is a massive, genial nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 4.085 billion Ordahians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Ordahian economy, worth 688 trillion currencies a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an impressive 168,636 currencies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi, UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, formerly internationally exported goods are now given away for free, and childish pranks are no laughing matter. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ordah's national animal is the animal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ordah is ranked 879^th in the world and 22^nd in the South Pacific for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 100.8 Effective Tax Rate.
