The Incorporated States of F Orbital is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.974 billion F Orbitals are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, with Education, Healthcare, and International Aid also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. The average income tax rate is 59.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant F Orbitalian economy, worth 30.8 trillion electrons 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 a slick, highly efficient black market in Basket Weaving, Tourism, Information Technology, and Retail. 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 15,581 electrons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. F Orbital's national animal is the atom, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

F Orbital is ranked 210,689^th in the world and 1^st in Chemistry for Largest Mining Sector, scoring 395.1 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
