The Republic of Orsik is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Prime Minister Kami Kriska with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, smutty television, and digital currency. The hard-nosed population of 2.452 billion Orsikians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aleziar. The average income tax rate is 93.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Orsikian economy, worth 380 trillion Guilders a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 155,072 Guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail, the government is purchasing vast amounts of palm oil for plastics production, the acceptance of acupuncture and other alternative therapies has needled the scientific community, and sex changes are routinely performed at Orsik's hospitals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orsik's national animal is the Raven, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Christian Orthodox.

Orsik is ranked 212,810^th in the world and 994^th in Europe for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -4.24 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
