The Mount Doom of Volcano Orodruin is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its complete lack of public education, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 15.681 billion Lava Streams live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.3%.

The very strong Mordorian economy, worth 519 trillion lavas a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 33,121 lavas, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 225,187 per year while the poor average 1,779, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Volcano Orodruin's national animal is the ash cloud, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Volcano Orodruin is ranked 45,890^th in the world and 11^th in Mordor for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,565.31 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
