The Republic of Orhland is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Wowser with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 4.56 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 97.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Orhlandian economy, worth 676 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 148,359 Liavs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

An endless multinational bureaucracy connects the Red Bloc, travelers are subject to extensive searches if beet stains are visible on their clothing, celebrities sit helplessly as they are labeled "pompous womples" by Wowser, and science centers and state of the art laboratories are ubiquitous. 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 277,921st in the world and 30th in The Commonwealth Society for Most Primitive, scoring -312.4 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
