The Republic of New Oros is a small, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 32 million Orosians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 11.2%.

The New Orosian economy, worth 2.03 trillion Orosian Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 63,550 Orosian Credits, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign governments are threatened if they so much as mention the word "election", dreams of entering the Super League have been relegated to the history books, access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery, and athletes are renowned for being the best at maths. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. New Oros's national animal is the Feather-Bellied Orosian Coati, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Oros is ranked 111,397^th in the world and 137^th in Eurth for Most Cultured, scoring 66 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
