The People's Republic of The Orson Empire is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Māia Akenehi with a fair hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless, devout population of 26.45 billion Orsonians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Law & Order, with Education, Healthcare, and Industry also on the agenda, while Environment and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ravenwood. The average income tax rate is 86.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Orsonian economy, worth a remarkable 5,863 trillion Kirahes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an amazing 221,690 Kirahes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Even doll houses and dog kennels have to be able to withstand rigorous earthquake testing, poaching has been on the rise after animals from the nation's zoos were released into the wild, in a fit of passion Māia Akenehi has shredded thirty years' worth of petitions, and war is made in the name of love. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Orson Empire's national animal is the Emu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is --------.

The Orson Empire is ranked 291,606^th in the world and 11^th in Empire of Andrew for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -17.9 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
