The Wave Function of F Orbital is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by 4f with a fair hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.49 billion F Orbitals are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, with Healthcare, Education, and International Aid also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of F-subshell. The average income tax rate is 61.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant F Orbitalian economy, worth 86.2 trillion electrons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Basket Weaving, Tourism, Information Technology, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 15,697 electrons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices, toast never burns but always has a weird chemical taste, you need two tenors and a coloratura contralto to sing the national anthem properly, and the sound of office water cooler chatter has been replaced by the whirring of computer cooling fans. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. F Orbital's national animal is the atom, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Aufbau diagram.

F Orbital is ranked 253,144^th in the world and 2^nd in Chemistry for Most Corrupt Governments, with 1.02 kickbacks per hour.
