The People's Republic of Orelchik is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Elliot Rostislavovich with an iron fist, and renowned for its state-planned economy, complete lack of prisons, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.127 billion Orelchikians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kotnovo. The average income tax rate is 93.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Orelchikian economy, worth 506 trillion Rubles 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 major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 122,635 Rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The national census includes an opt-in to join the government-run dating service, self-sufficiency is built on seizing foreign assets, the air force's greatness is based on how many enemies are made during procurement, and machine gun nests are the latest must-have gardening trend. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orelchik's national animal is the Fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Orelchik is ranked 24,586^th in the world and 211^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Corrupt Governments, with 92.33 kickbacks per hour.
