The Commonwealth of An Orange is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.494 billion Orangeans 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 juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 41.6%.

The very strong Orangean economy, worth 81.7 trillion Oranges a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 54,708 Oranges, with the richest citizens earning 7.6 times as much as the poorest.

The new Refuse Hills housing development is under construction, manufacturers of biodegradable plastics have to wait for months to show evidence of organic decomposition, appendix transplant figures have recently doubled, and pet owners must make a payment if their charges leave a deposit. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. An Orange's national animal is the Eastern box turtle , which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

An Orange is ranked 142,316^th in the world and 46^th in Bingos Puppet Sanctuary for Largest Governments, scoring 13.56 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
