The Republic of Orhland is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Wowser with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, ban on automobiles, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cheerful population of 4.508 billion Orhlandians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Abiet. The average income tax rate is 97.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Orhlandian economy, worth 664 trillion Liavs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 147,383 Liavs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Families are left homeless as entire suburbs are bulldozed on the whim of tribal chiefs, conspiracy theorists allege that the government is spying on them through their carbon monoxide detectors, heart attack victims are thrown onto the rails, and Wowser's speeches are beloved by insomniacs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orhland's national animal is the Green Magpie, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Orhland is ranked 3,237^th in the world and 4^th in The Commonwealth Society for Lowest Crime Rates, with 128 law-abiding acts per hour.
