The Commonwealth of Orange 1000 is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its triple-decker prams, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 984 million Orange 1000ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 58.7%.
The sizeable but underdeveloped Orange 1000ian economy, worth 32.8 trillion Oranges a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 33,329 Oranges, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.
Future forecasters fearfully discuss grey goo and human obsolescence, toddlers are wielding machine guns in the name of national defense, the only crimes that get investigated are doughnut heists, and traumatized ex-ambassadors seek treatment for their "desk dissociation". Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Orange 1000's national animal is the Eastern box turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
Orange 1000 is ranked 34,955th in the world and 8th in Bingos Puppet Sanctuary for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 5,458.56 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
