The Principality of Oricora is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Princess Jaylin Oricora III with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, public floggings, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.056 billion Oricorans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paritor. The average income tax rate is 77.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Oricoran economy, worth 86.4 trillion Decoes 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 Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 81,846 Decoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The average commuter spends four hours a day driving to and from work, a major religion has been named as Oricora's national religion, digital novelty coins make for surprising vanguards of the revolution, and the Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oricora's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Oricora is ranked 92,612^th in the world and 1,099^th in The East Pacific for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 2,792.06 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
