The Republic of Orsik is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Prime Minister Kami Kriska with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 2.367 billion Orsikians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aleziar. The average income tax rate is 92.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Orsikian economy, worth 365 trillion Guilders a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 154,523 Guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People typically base their votes on which party has the cutest logo, businesses have become paranoid as waves of lawsuits sweep the nation, interest in globalism never flags, and Prime Minister Kami Kriska is too busy listening to praise to get any work done. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orsik's national animal is the Raven, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Christian Orthodox.

Orsik is ranked 10,032^nd in the world and 142^nd in Europe for Lowest Crime Rates, with 101.2 law-abiding acts per hour.
