The Best Nation in the World of Orcuo is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Supreme OverLord with an iron fist, and remarkable for its smutty television, strictly enforced bedtime, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.131 billion Orcuans 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, although Law & Order is also considered important, while Environment and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Imperial Citadel. The average income tax rate is 95.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Orcuian economy, worth a remarkable 1,750 trillion Bureau Administered Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 341,138 Bureau Administered Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The nation is committed to nuclear rearmament, not showing enough enthusiasm for mutual assured destruction is a court-martial offence, overhead luggage compartments on trains sometimes conceal diminutive intelligence officers, and there is no such thing as an innocent fling in the Orcuian military. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orcuo's national animal is the Octopus, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Blue Blood Unity.

Orcuo is ranked 288,987^th in the world and 6,771^st in the Rejected Realms for Highest Food Quality, scoring 3.63 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
