The Republic of Orion Aria is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Ubermensch with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.907 billion Arians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Orion. The average income tax rate is 79.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Orion Arian economy, worth 406 trillion dollars a year, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 139,665 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The fastest growing demographic of porn viewership is twelve to seventeen, the government subsidises medicines of mass destruction, ancient antique swords have had their blades replaced with latex boffer LARP replicas, and most households' childcare costs are higher than their mortgage payments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orion Aria's national animal is the leggy, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Composer of Strands.

Orion Aria is ranked 4,606^th in the world and 6^th in Concord for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 584.53 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
