The Republic of Or-1 is a titanic, pleasant nation, remarkable for its closed borders, avowedly heterosexual populace, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed population of 21.635 billion Or-1ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 41.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Or-1ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,434 trillion $$s a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 66,314 $$s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Cooking with water and baking soda is considered patent infringement, passionate nomination battles are often as intense as general elections, murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour, and candlelit dinners are less romantic with a flickering LED. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Or-1's national animal is the Death's-head Hawkmoth, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Or-1 is ranked 193,941^st in the world and 1^st in Orlando for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -4 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
