The Republic of Oriv al is a large, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical, devout population of 131 million Oriv alians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous government prioritizes Spirituality, with Defense, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 67.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Oriv alian economy, worth 4.51 trillion Provincial Talers a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Pizza Delivery, and Gambling. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 34,393 Provincial Talers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians bribe ten-year-old geniuses to sit their aptitude tests, the contraband cigarette trade is lighting up across Oriv al, masterpieces by male artists are on display in the dumpsters behind the gallery, and returning tourists and businessmen are detained without trial if they belong to the "wrong" religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oriv al's national animal is the Provincial Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Oriv al is ranked 55,355^th in the world and 10^th in Urcea for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 66.95 Effective Tax Rate.
