The Commonwealth of East Orange Island is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, lack of airports, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 1.735 billion East Orange Islandians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.7%.

The powerhouse East Orange Islandian economy, worth 156 trillion Oranges a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Basket Weaving, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 89,922 Oranges, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 443,426 per year while the poor average 10,389, a ratio of 42.7 to 1.

Judges are rumored to find in favor of whoever bribes them the most, government ministers claim to ride dragons to work, foreign students are expected to have a Kegmeister Grade Average of 36-24-36 to qualify for university, and the government has seized the means of recreation. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. East Orange Island's national animal is the Eastern box turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

East Orange Island is ranked 115,555^th in the world and 27^th in Bingos Puppet Sanctuary for Largest Governments, scoring 15.39 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
