The Commonwealth of Orbium is a very large, genial nation, notable for its avant-garde cinema, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 230 million Orbiumians 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 enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 73.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Orbiumian economy, worth 5.60 trillion poops a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 24,328 poops, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Community-designed sword prostheses are becoming dangerously common, political spontaneity takes a lot of planning, lobotomies haven't been the same after the practice was severed, and builders across Orbium are blocked up with orders for new public loos. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orbium's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Orbium is ranked 36,418^th in the world and 58^th in The Kodiak Republic for Most Accessible, scoring 413.92 on the Keller-Reeve Index.
