The Commonwealth of Orangsex-Gobony is a very large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 158 million Orangsex-Gobonyians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 61.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Orangsex-Gobonyian economy, worth 3.80 trillion deniers 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 a slick, highly efficient black market in Furniture Restoration, Automobile Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. 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 24,025 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fruit vendors are encouraging a life of crime in their advertising, a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, protestors are soaking piles of deniers in blood to make a point about government incomes, and some Orangsex-Gobonyian athletes have defected to Blackacre after being denied the chance to compete in international sporting events. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orangsex-Gobony's national animal is the Uberwaschbar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Orangsex-Gobony is ranked 250,842nd in the world and 45th in The Infinite Army for Largest Populations, with 158 million capita.
