The Federal Republic of Originia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Chancellor with an even hand, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.285 billion Originese are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Honiara. The average income tax rate is 67.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Origini economy, worth 278 trillion Cassoes a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 121,780 Cassoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Origini novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about Chancellor, being Chancellor has been voted one of the top ten most dangerous jobs, workers of "fairweather faith" claim six months of paid leave for holy days per year, and counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Originia's national animal is the Cassowary, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Originia is ranked 19,368^th in the world and 420^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 90.25 law-abiding acts per hour.
