The United Realms of Oronia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by King Tomas II with an iron fist, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, national health service, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 23.55 billion Oronians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anturia. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Oronian economy, worth a remarkable 7,876 trillion oroloes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 334,445 oroloes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bored politicians often entertain themselves with games of Simon during important votes, dubiously qualified East Lebatuckese doctors prescribe ice baths as a treatment for pneumonia, politicians are often seen with soldiers pointing guns at their heads, and military pistols are more secure than the national treasury. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oronia's national animal is the jaguar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Church of Oronia.

Oronia is ranked 2,137th in the world and 34th in the West Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 339.54 kickbacks per hour.
