The Federal Republic of Orientiae is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Conventus Nātiōnālis Orientiānus with a fair hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, sprawling nuclear power plants, and public floggings. The compassionate, democratic population of 2 billion Orientiaeans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Confluentes. The average income tax rate is 38.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Orientiaean economy, worth 113 trillion Libers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Retail, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 56,658 Libers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Government officials go door-to-door educating about the dangers of pseudoscience, demand for night vision goggles and boat engine mufflers has spiked, the government seizes corporate assets it deems 'scary enough', and shopping comes bagged and tagged. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orientiae's national animal is the Eurasian bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secularism.

Orientiae is ranked 227,861^st in the world and 511^th in Europe for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -3.79 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
