The Syndicate of The Orion Home Planet is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Harrad-Sar with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 10.018 billion Orions are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.
The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kinarvon. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Orion economy, worth a remarkable 1,703 trillion Gold-pressed Latinum Strips a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 170,036 Gold-pressed Latinum Strips, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,335,144 per year while the poor average 5,414, a ratio of 246 to 1.

The Orion Home Planet's national animal is the Wing-slug, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
