The Republic of Orion Aria is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Ubermensch with an even hand, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.859 billion Arians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Orion. The average income tax rate is 77.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Orion Arian economy, worth 400 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 140,232 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Artists from across the nation compete to renovate the restrooms of old government buildings, it is mandatory to learn evolution in schools, anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, and cosmopolitan citizens ask what their countries can do for them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orion Aria's national animal is the leggy, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Composer of Strands.

Orion Aria is ranked 37,307^th in the world and 47^th in Concord for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 4,920.78 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
