The Totalitarian Empire of The Orwell Society is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 660 million Orwellians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Airstrip One. The average income tax rate is 86.9%.

The powerhouse Orwellian economy, worth 91.1 trillion credits 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 large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, 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 138,030 credits, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

AIs make up a majority of the long-term warehouse population, when electric cars arrived nobody heard them coming, court verdicts are predictable to within a hundredth of a percentage point, and knitters are arrested for carrying needles in their bags. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Orwell Society's national animal is the rat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Orwell Society is ranked 124,855^th in the world and 34^th in Sildoria for Largest Retail Industry, scoring 1,443.74 on the Shrinkwrap Consignment Productivity Index.
