The Ordenstaat of State of Ordena is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Herrscher Erich Oberländer with an iron fist, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, ubiquitous missile silos, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.988 billion Ordenites 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 Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berlina. The average income tax rate is 81.0%.

The very strong Ordenite economy, worth 883 trillion Ordenmarks 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. 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 impressive 126,442 Ordenmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Otherwise healthy people are being sent to internment camps because they have VODAIS, park rangers struggle to deal with a rash of stolen pic-a-nic baskets, the police have reaffirmed their tough stance on drugs, and the decommissioned tank divisions of other nations are being bought up en masse by State of Ordena. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. State of Ordena's national animal is the Ordenite Eagle and its national religion is Sonnenwarheit.

State of Ordena is ranked 305,017^th in the world and 70^th in Greater Dienstad for Most Cultured, scoring 34 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
