The Lost Soul of Mr Orc is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 16.271 billion Monsters and other Creatures are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Public Transport, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.4%.

The strong Monster economy, worth a remarkable 1,093 trillion Honey Monies a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 67,191 Honey Monies, with the richest citizens earning 8.8 times as much as the poorest.

The death penalty has been reintroduced, mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest growing field, reports of arson have doubled since the introduction of a privatised fire protection service, and political candidates recite daily pledges of loyalty to their chosen party. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Mr Orc's national animal is the Monkey Monkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mr Orc is ranked 17,874th in the world and 2nd in Loony Bin for Most Stationary, with 1,695.29264417868 days.
