The Colony of Orange Technologies is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and soft-spoken computers. The hard-nosed population of 2.461 billion Orange Technologiesians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 55.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Orange Technologiesian economy, worth 169 trillion Oranges 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 Gambling, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. 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 69,077 Oranges, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Leader's throne, citizens simply have to point a weapon at a government official to get what they want, East Lebatuckese astronauts' favorite game during downtime on the Multinational Space Station is 'I Spy', and a few immigrants are better than no immigrants according to Leader. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Orange Technologies's national animal is the Eastern box turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Orange Technologies is ranked 246,292nd in the world and 237th in Bingos Puppet Sanctuary for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5.57 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
