The Tragedy of Orpheus and Eurydice is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Moirae with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 9.073 billion Lovers love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Asphodel Meadows. The average income tax rate is 78.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Loving economy, worth a remarkable 1,251 trillion eros a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 137,931 eros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are forced to donate blood once every three months, internet moderator is one of the most popular jobs among the nation's more socially awkward citizens, imitation is the sincerest form of felony, and whales in captivity live in little more than glorified goldfish bowls. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orpheus and Eurydice's national animal is the Cerberus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Transmigration of Love.

Orpheus and Eurydice is ranked 155,261st in the world and 76th in Underworld for Most Stationary, with 143.99655367548 days.
