The Federation of Oru Borough is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, enslaved workforce, and parental licensing program. The cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.894 billion Oru Boroughians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Oru Boroughian economy, worth 618 trillion gambles 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 a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. 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 an impressive 126,192 gambles, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 452,265 per year while the poor average 25,252, a ratio of 17.9 to 1.
A niche industry catering to S&M enthusiasts has sprung up, binoculars sales are at an all-time high, the government single-handedly sustains the bunk bed market, and livestock mutilations are on the rise. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oru Borough's national animal is the gamble, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Oru Borough is ranked 59,408th in the world and 819th in Baltoscandia for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 2,873.69 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
