The Federation of Allied City-States of Orience is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 11.684 billion Allied City-States of Orienceans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.3%.

The very strong Allied City-States of Oriencean economy, worth 752 trillion Gellas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 64,416 Gellas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 224,952 per year while the poor average 13,414, a ratio of 16.8 to 1.

The police force is on a recruitment drive, a new generation of aquariumless hotels are being built under government supervision, the year's most anticipated show is "Great Deals on Delicious Meals", and the death penalty has been reintroduced. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Allied City-States of Orience's national animal is the Dromedary Camel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Allied City-States of Orience is ranked 266,921^st in the world and 22^nd in Mediterranean for Most Beautiful Environments, with 99.5 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
