The Federal Republic of Originia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Chancellor with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.357 billion Originese have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Honiara. The average income tax rate is 29.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Origini economy, worth 251 trillion Cassoes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 106,506 Cassoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Dubiously qualified Skandilundian barristers keep referring to laws as 'government guidelines', sweet-toothed Originese have been left penniless by the VAT on candy, the law is more interested in punishing crime than preventing it, and it's a long jump to get onto the housing ladder. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Originia's national animal is the Cassowary, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Originia is ranked 53,397th in the world and 1,166th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 4,099.59 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
