The Federation of Oreision is a titanic, cultured nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, vat-grown people, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 11.121 billion Oreisionians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Administration, Education, and Industry are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 99.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Oreisionian economy, worth a remarkable 6,162 trillion Quantum energies 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. 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 a breathtaking 554,097 Quantum energies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Young children are learning advanced physics to scientifically disprove the existence of Santa Claus, SOS from foreign ships mean "shoot on sight", universities spend millions removing ivy from their walls to avoid accusations of elitism, and the government subsidizes those who produce the worst results. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oreision's national animal is the Grasshopper, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Oreision is ranked 599^th in the world and 8^th in Lonely Nations for Largest Black Market, with 10,587 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
