The Beautiful Empire of Orioni 2 is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Her Imperial Highness Joni Nabérrie with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 43.471 billion Orinese enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of O'polis. The average income tax rate is 97.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Orinese economy, worth a remarkable 6,113 trillion Phis a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 140,632 Phis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust, bouncers at the door of the sweet shop warn five-year-olds not to cause trouble, political candidates recite daily pledges of loyalty to their chosen party, and Orinese watches are often the only thing to survive a disaster intact. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orioni 2's national animal is the pink river dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Orioni 2 is ranked 6,036^th in the world and 13^th in Eurth for Most Cultured, scoring 152 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
