The Glorious Golden Pharaohship of Order of the Stick is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by High Overlord Roy Greenhilt with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 17.549 billion Order of the Stickians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gobbotopia. The average income tax rate is 74.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Order of the Stickian economy, worth a remarkable 5,915 trillion Golden Shinies a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 337,097 Golden Shinies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

This summer's chart-toppers sound almost the same as last year's, customer satisfaction with online delivery services is at an all time high, offering a builder a cup of tea is a legal minefield, and children are often observed making 'sand angels' in bunkers. Crime is totally unknown. Order of the Stick's national animal is the Allosaurus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Militant Rationalism.

Order of the Stick is ranked 2,022nd in the world and 82nd in Lazarus for Highest Average Incomes, with 337,097.38 Standard Monetary Units.
