The Dominion of Orbitus is a massive, safe nation, ruled by A'rril Anemait with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 2.032 billion Orbitusians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Celestis. The average income tax rate is 73.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Orbitusian economy, worth 224 trillion euros a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 110,435 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose, astronauts take one small step for Orbitus and one giant step backward from confrontation, there has been a series of riots between local cannibals and health food advocates, and Orbitusians are regularly fired for looking at MyFace during their lunch breaks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orbitus's national animal is the snake, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Origin.

Orbitus is ranked 37,063^rd in the world and 47^th in The Kodiak Republic for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 4,942.43 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
