The Jingoistic States of Ordogomenistan is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by Von Prushk with an even hand, and remarkable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 794 million Ordogomenistanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Greater Ordogomenicity. The average income tax rate is 85.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Ordogomenistanian economy, worth 88.0 trillion Monies 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. 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 impressive 110,789 Monies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Von Prushk has no checks and balances after the upper house was abolished, goldfish bowls are three metres in diameter, people can't decide between preserving forests and buying print copies of 'Dogman Versus The Giggler', and a degree in Von Prushk Science with a Minor in Awesomeology starts many political careers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ordogomenistan's national animal is the Dragoon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ordogomenistan is ranked 15,257th in the world and 364th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 326.24 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
