The Capitalist Stratocracy of Orksian is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Orks with an even hand, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, smutty television, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 8.166 billion Orksians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kebab HQ. The average income tax rate is 95.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Orksian economy, worth a remarkable 3,050 trillion Company Shares a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 373,513 Company Shares, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,263,412 per year while the poor average 27,502, a ratio of 82.3 to 1.

Truth is often impossible to tell from fiction on the evening news, tour guides tell passengers that there is beautiful architecture just behind the two-hundred-foot concrete walls, only fully-fledged members of MENSA are allowed to vote, and Orks's office is running a trade deficit of midnight oil. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orksian's national animal is the Lamb, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Athiest.

Orksian is ranked 116,403rd in the world and 95th in The League for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 2,437.63 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
