The Federal Republic of Orelao is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Entonca Wesley with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, devout population of 2.262 billion Arelans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Verlora. The average income tax rate is 72.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Arelano economy, worth 196 trillion Areloes a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 86,967 Areloes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Books are so highly regarded in Orelao that libraries are often revered as holy shrines, heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste, the cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose, and military equipment stores have a tendency to go up in flames. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orelao's national animal is the Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Islam.

Orelao is ranked 242,341^st in the world and 198^th in Empire of Great Britain for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -5.72 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
