The Hunter of Orion 001 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its frequent executions, compulsory gun ownership, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 5.113 billion Stargazers 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 medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 35.8%.
The very strong Orion 001ian economy, worth 408 trillion stardusts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 79,894 stardusts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.
Policemen regularly conduct midnight raids on closed donut shops to 'collect evidence', human tissue is grown in vats as a delicacy as well as for transplants, government buildings are being cleansed of anything that might have racist connotations, and criminals lock themselves in their mums' basements to avoid prison. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orion 001's national animal is the the Hunter, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Orion 001 is ranked 90,681st in the world and 4,181st in Balder for Smartest Citizens, with 37.37 quips per hour.
