“Together we are stronger”

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

The Federal Republic of Originia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Chancellor with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, free-roaming dinosaurs, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.447 billion Originese enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Honiara. The average income tax rate is 34.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Origini economy, worth 269 trillion Cassoes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 109,962 Cassoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Wealthy pranksters dump refuse on unsuspecting citizens from up high, Chancellor reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes, teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, and the Twelve Steps To Logging Off is the most popular mobile download. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Originia's national animal is the Cassowary, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Originia is ranked 14,789^th in the world and 350^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 331.64 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
