The Colony of Orion 034 is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Nuca with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, frequent executions, and digital currency. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 4.97 billion Stargazers are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, moralistic government prioritizes Administration, although Healthcare, Defense, and Law & Order are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.2%.
The very strong Orion 034ian economy, worth 298 trillion stardusts a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,140 stardusts, with the richest citizens earning 8.1 times as much as the poorest.
The masses are surrendering their civil liberties without complaint for the sake of shopping convenience, the government insists that a ghost voted ten million times in the last election, noises louder than a whisper have been prohibited by law, and economists claim no news is good news. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orion 034's national animal is the the Hunter, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Orion 034 is ranked 139,247th in the world and 6,498th in Balder for Smartest Citizens, with 31.22 quips per hour.
