The Federal Republic of Oresteia is a huge, genial nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic population of 588 million Oresteians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arés. The average income tax rate is 44.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Oresteian economy, worth 19.3 trillion Krs a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 32,819 Krs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The fire brigade often deal with cases of burnt toast, re-education centers are being added to most prisons, it is illegal for a parent to tell a child to stop eating their boogers, and Oresteia has designated Arés as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oresteia's national animal is the Tiger.

Oresteia is ranked 102,722^nd in the world and 1,206^th in the South Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 36.14 quips per hour.
