The Beautiful Empire of Orioni 2 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Her Imperial Highness Joni Nabérrie with a fair hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, keen interest in outer space, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 39.282 billion Orinese are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of O'polis. The average income tax rate is 96.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Orinese economy, worth a remarkable 5,501 trillion Phis a year, is quite 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 140,055 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 5,601^st in the world and 6^th in Eurth for Smartest Citizens, with 121.35 quips per hour.
