The Hayk of Orion 004 is a mammoth, orderly nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 8.418 billion Stargazers 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 51.2%.

The powerhouse Orion 004ian economy, worth 873 trillion stardusts 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 slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 an impressive 103,805 stardusts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Leader's exquisite office door is replaced monthly due to angry petitioners, the government snoops on private internet connections, the nation has an international reputation for compassion, and the sun now sets on the Orion 004ian Empire. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orion 004's national animal is the the Hunter, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Orion 004 is ranked 53,390^th in the world and 2,511^th in Osiris for Highest Poor Incomes, with 52,964.51 Standard Monetary Units.
