Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Principality of United Oria is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Ori with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 2.852 billion United Orians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oria City. The average income tax rate is 38.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient United Orian economy, worth 454 trillion Shekel Orianies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 159,448 Shekel Orianies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sending sick politicians "Get Well Soon" cards is considered bribery, seasonal hay-fever sufferers are attending government drug counselling sessions to get free doughnuts, homeless people dying of starvation are thought to be a necessary cost of preventing terrorism, and tower block residents are each held responsible for four square inches of front lawn. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. United Oria's national animal is the Orian Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Orianisem.

United Oria is ranked 21,909^th in the world and 569^th in The North Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 45.32 flags saluted per person per day.
