The United Socialist States of New Oreia is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its digital currency, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 770 million New Oreians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oreia. The average income tax rate is 27.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong New Oreian economy, worth 38.5 trillion coins a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 50,055 coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The government sends submarines to retrieve bodies from shipwrecked submarines, copyright laws have been abolished, the New Oreia Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon', and prisoners regularly escape detention posing as scarecrows. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Oreia's national animal is the dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

New Oreia is ranked 28,338^th in the world and 114^th in Concord for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,725.49 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
