The United Holy Empire of Ourantos is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ourien Von Britannia with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 29.202 billion Ourantosi enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pendragon City. The average income tax rate is 70.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ourantosian economy, worth a remarkable 4,483 trillion Chinyen-Woolong Credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 153,524 Chinyen-Woolong Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Cops in Pendragon City spend much of their time napping on a park bench next to Embassy Row, foreign workers are flooding in as Chinyen-Woolong Credits flood out, discarded pennies litter the streets, and the army consists of only generals and grunts. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ourantos's national animal is the Griffunus-Chimera, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Devine Light.

Ourantos is ranked 38,610^th in the world and 2,556^th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 78.27 law-abiding acts per hour.
