The Conglomerate of Orcuo is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Supreme OverLord with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, fear of technology, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.022 billion Orcuans 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 is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Imperial Citadel. The average income tax rate is 96.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Orcuian economy, worth a remarkable 2,177 trillion Bureau Administered Credits 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. 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 an amazing 361,530 Bureau Administered Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The nation is under martial law, nuclear warheads are frequently launched into space as a warning to invading meteoroids, quiet professionalism has returned to the nation's armed forces, and the nation won three wars against Brancaland this weekend. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orcuo's national animal is the Octopus, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Blue Blood Unity.

Orcuo is ranked 276,821st in the world and 5,818th in the Rejected Realms for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 11,207.45 Standard Monetary Units.
