The Dominion of Orbitus is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by A'rril Anemait with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, otherworldly petting zoo, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, cheerful population of 7.161 billion Orbitans are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aren'thain. The average income tax rate is 46.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Orbitan economy, worth 846 trillion orbitan crowns a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 118,271 orbitan crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Lifelong celibates are surprised to receive government-issue condoms in the post, exports are stamped with "made by the invisible hand you commies", politicians always seem to take two steps forward then three steps back, and newspapers are running a front-page picture of A'rril Anemait holding a crowbar and standing over a bloodied stockbroker. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orbitus's national animal is the snake, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Origin.

Orbitus is ranked 143,425th in the world and 88th in The Kodiak Republic for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,166.54 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
