The Best Nation in the World of Orcuo is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Supreme OverLord with an iron fist, and notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, enslaved workforce, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.1 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, although Law & Order is also considered important, while Environment and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Imperial Citadel. The average income tax rate is 95.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Orcuian economy, worth a remarkable 1,738 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. 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 340,897 Bureau Administered Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Orcuian soldiers are assured their new ray-guns will finally power up after the next round of ominous chanting, requests to "pass the salt" are supported by tank divisions, Orcuo is increasingly belligerent on the international stage, and creating cardboard imitations of missiles is a new top-secret military project. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded 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 136,682nd in the world and 3,240th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 690.34 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
