The Colony of Orange-1 is a mammoth, efficient nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, avowedly heterosexual populace, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.041 billion Orange-1ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, well-organized morass — is primarily concerned with Administration, with Defense, Industry, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while Environment isn't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 75.7%.

The powerhouse Orange-1ian economy, worth 338 trillion Oranges a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 67,135 Oranges, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.

Weathermen are being arrested for attempting to read the future, the Orange-1ian government is the world's largest NGO, banning party poppers has been a real party pooper, and a typical peasant's life cycle leads from birth to the gallows. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Orange-1's national animal is the Eastern box turtle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Orange-1 is ranked 311,461^st in the world and 343^rd in Bingos Puppet Sanctuary for Most Developed, scoring 47.88 on the Human Development Index.
