The Beautiful Empire of Orioni 2 is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Her Imperial Highness Joni Nabérrie with a fair hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 37.245 billion Orinese hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of O'polis. The average income tax rate is 96.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Orinese economy, worth a remarkable 5,161 trillion Phis a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 138,580 Phis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust, bouncers at the door of the sweet shop warn five-year-olds not to cause trouble, political candidates recite daily pledges of loyalty to their chosen party, and Orinese watches are often the only thing to survive a disaster intact. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orioni 2's national animal is the pink river dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Orioni 2 is ranked 11,306^th in the world and 18^th in Eurth for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 8,883.03 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
