The Machiavelli's Beloved of The Oriental Empire is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Athanasia II Augustina with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, otherworldly petting zoo, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless, devout population of 7.197 billion Orientălií enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Constantinople. The average income tax rate is 94.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Orientălií economy, worth a remarkable 1,231 trillion Pax Romanas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 171,173 Pax Romanas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Good-looking soldier boys have celebrity status amongst the nation's homosexuals, a recent political speech drew the ire of nerds everywhere after the speaker claimed that Darth Vader was Harry Potter's father, praying before a battle is a court-martial offence, and toilet paper is considered a non-essential item in the embargo against Brasilistan. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Oriental Empire's national animal is the Canis Lupus, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Oriental Empire is ranked 158,927^th in the world and 682^nd in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 125.78 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
