The Union of Ordenian is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Arin Lancaster with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, sprawling nuclear power plants, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, devout population of 5.685 billion Ordenians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ardon. The average income tax rate is 82.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Ordenian economy, worth 597 trillion Rons a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 105,021 Rons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Savvy students quote paywalled research knowing that university lecturers can't afford to check the citations, a surprising number of travelers carry their water in vodka bottles, the nation is wading into dangerous waters, and lawyers turn down litigation cases and corporate work in order to focus on lucrative public defence work. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ordenian's national animal is the Grizzly Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Ordenian is ranked 88,738^th in the world and 458^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 3,737.3 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
