The Colony of Orion 012 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, parental licensing program, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 4.894 billion Orion 012ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 50.1%.
The all-consuming Orion 012ian economy, worth 491 trillion stardusts a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 100,431 stardusts, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.
Citizens seem fixated on 105m x 45m rectangles, code enforcement officers circle wealthy Orion 012ians like vultures, politicians are often seen with soldiers pointing guns at their heads, and the nation's armed forces are recruiting thousands to help colonise Brasilistan. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orion 012's national animal is the the Hunter, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Orion 012 is ranked 153,087th in the world and 7,421st in Lazarus for Smartest Citizens, with 29.79 quips per hour.
