The Commonwealth of Orange U is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its enslaved workforce, triple-decker prams, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.38 billion Orange Uians 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 relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 30.0%.
The strong Orange Uian economy, worth 86.0 trillion Oranges a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 62,326 Oranges, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 255,608 per year while the poor average 10,038, a ratio of 25.5 to 1.
In its new More is More campaign the government advertises obese men and women posing coquettishly with baked goods to spare their blushes, fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, the line of people waiting for a visa interview in front of foreign embassies is typically a mile long, and public shaming has become the favoured form of punishment. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive. Orange U's national animal is the Eastern box turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.
Orange U is ranked 194,817th in the world and 93rd in Bingos Puppet Sanctuary for Largest Governments, scoring 10.91 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
