The United Austronesian Kingdom of Orang Moku is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Mayaw Tuwana with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, daily referendums, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.659 billion Orang Motu are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Environment, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kampung Raja-Raja. The average income tax rate is 93.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Orang Motu economy, worth 416 trillion tālās a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 89,385 tālās, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Intellectual snobbery has the cognoscenti sneering at anyone who doesn't have an opinion on the semiological drift of Umberto Eco's works, the government is promoting multicultural values with the new 'Just Be Nice, OK?' initiative, the carbon tax fund gladly supplies warm blankets when the poor can't pay their heating bills, and scientists earn more grant money for reproducing old experiments than trying anything new. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orang Moku's national animal is the giant turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Austronesian Mythology and Folklore.

Orang Moku is ranked 287,906th in the world and 218th in Thaecia for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -19.82 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
