The Seven Sons of Oriol is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Tedd Ivory with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, complete lack of prisons, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, cynical population of 24.663 billion Oriolians 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, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Industry, with Defense also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Public Transport aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oriana. The average income tax rate is 10.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The strong Oriolian economy, worth 620 trillion Ones a year, is quite specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 25,158 Ones, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.
A major religion has been named as Oriol's national religion, all-natural foods are becoming a major fad, the armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists, and gambling is outlawed. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Oriol's national animal is the owl.
Oriol is ranked 171,137th in the world and 79th in England for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring zero on the Clooney Contribution Index.
