The Colony of Orange Bank is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its closed borders, aversion to nipples, and feral children. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.375 billion Orange Bankians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 55.1%.
The Orange Bankian economy, worth 56.5 trillion UOVS Banks a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Uranium Mining, Retail, Pizza Delivery, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 41,112 UOVS Banks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.
Former royals stand on the street corner with signs reading "will cut ribbons for money", getting a haircut is a punishable offence, there's no representation without taxation, and citizens pray for sunshine so that they can use illicit sundials for timekeeping. Crime is a serious problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Orange Bank's national animal is the Eastern box turtle , which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.
Orange Bank is ranked 309,277th in the world and 17th in Bingos Puppet Sanctuary for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring -6.32 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
