The Inclusive disjunction of OR is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King or President with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 26.257 billion ORians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of OR-Gate. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 93.6%.

The powerhouse ORian economy, worth a remarkable 3,467 trillion Euro or Dollars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 132,072 Euro or Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

Schoolchildren are divided over King or President's "Why Tigers are Cooler than Lions" speech, virtual assistants are seen with increasing suspicion every time they get an upgrade, misbehaving Lion or Hawks deemed dangerous to the public are shot and hanged by the town hall as a warning to others, and political clichés like "band-aid solutions" and "adrenaline shots to the economy" are headed for the dumpster. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. OR's national animal is the Lion or Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is God or Not.

OR is ranked 12,389^th in the world and 997^th in Lazarus for Most Corrupt Governments, with 136.6 kickbacks per hour.
