The All-American Whimsy of Orion Nebula is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 27.206 billion Orion Nebulans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, moralistic, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 81.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Orion Nebulan economy, worth 378 trillion Warbucks a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 13,900 Warbucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orion Nebula's national animal is the Alien.

Orion Nebula is ranked 125,864th in the world and 19th in United States for Lowest Crime Rates, with 63.13 law-abiding acts per hour.
