“There is only one Oribus”

Overview • Factbook • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Principality of South Oribus is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic population of 222 million South Oribians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Welfare, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.7%.

The very strong South Oribusian economy, worth 13.6 trillion doblses a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 61,115 doblses, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 197,516 per year while the poor average 14,290, a ratio of 13.8 to 1.

The nation's new foreign policy of 'very disproportionate retribution' has its neighbors on edge, weather forecasts regularly cover meteor showers, signs of extraterrestrial life are just foreign astronauts evading South Oribusian justice, and South Oribus successfully hosted the Chicken overlords Olympics. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. South Oribus's national animal is the falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

South Oribus is ranked 101,643^rd in the world and 97^th in Chicken overlords for Most Developed, scoring 61.07 on the Human Development Index.
