The Empire of Orussia is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Czar Nikolas Romanov IV with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, pith helmet sales, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 15.179 billion Orussians 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arovostok. The average income tax rate is 38.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Orussian economy, worth a remarkable 1,670 trillion rubles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 110,041 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Carefully-staged grief is displayed by Czar Nikolas Romanov IV after national disasters, politicians no longer click with dating app matches, unpackaged foodstuffs rot on store shelves, and the government raises tariffs on a weekly basis. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orussia's national animal is the bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Orussian Orthodox.

Orussia is ranked 81,312^th in the world and 12^th in Pony Lands for Most Cultured, scoring 67 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
