The United States of Northern Orthoxine is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Arsyn Washington with an iron fist, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, frequent executions, and vat-grown people. The compassionate, cynical population of 4.709 billion Orthos are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Red Harbor. The average income tax rate is 78.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Orthoxinean economy, worth 582 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 123,737 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields, for 25 Dollars tourists can gawk at the site of national tragedy, sullen teenagers in bright orange 'community payback' onesies can be seen picking litter at the roadside, and costumed characters wearing Maxtopian Grass leaves remind citizens that the government now sells the green stuff. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Northern Orthoxine's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Northern Orthoxine is ranked 19,281^st in the world and 792^nd in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 93 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
