The Commonwealth of Orange D is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.512 billion Orange Dians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 45.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Orange Dian economy, worth 100 trillion Oranges 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 66,753 Oranges, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Five-hundred-twenty-five-thousand-six-hundred revivals is how theatre-goers measure a year, it is impossible to get any work done as auditors swarm every inch of government factories and mines, OD-SPAN features senators wrestling with ever-increasing production elements, and the intelligence community is playing 4-D chess with an imaginary spy network. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orange D's national animal is the Eastern box turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Orange D is ranked 104,354th in the world and 4th in Bingos Puppet Sanctuary for Highest Average Incomes, with 66,753.08 Standard Monetary Units.
