The Colony of Orange C is a mammoth, efficient nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, strictly enforced bedtime, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.588 billion Orange Cians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of C. The average income tax rate is 91.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Orange Cian economy, worth 796 trillion Oranges a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Uranium Mining, Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an impressive 142,419 Oranges, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is illegal to make racist remarks in public, in the mighty jungle the lion once again sleeps tonight, the government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life, and tourists flock to see the giant stone carvings of historical leaders at Mount Rushless. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orange C's national animal is the Eastern box turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Orange C is ranked 331,777^th in the world and 359^th in Bingos Puppet Sanctuary for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -15.41 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
