The Hail Chairman Meow of The Orwell Society is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Chairman Meow with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.995 billion Orwellians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Airstrip One. The average income tax rate is 98.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Orwellian economy, worth a remarkable 1,569 trillion credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 314,124 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Even doll houses and dog kennels have to be able to withstand rigorous earthquake testing, in a desperate bid for cheap airfare Orwellians can be seen jogging in a rubber suit just before flying, the nation's new currency features full-length portraits of Chairman Meow in ermine and velvet garb, and the government is a proud sponsor of the National Gaming Association. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Orwell Society's national animal is the cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Meowism.

The Orwell Society is ranked 234,827th in the world and 9,687th in Balder for Safest, scoring 31.41 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
