The Federal Republic of Originia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Chancellor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.424 billion Originese love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Honiara. The average income tax rate is 39.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Origini economy, worth 262 trillion Cassoes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 108,487 Cassoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fighter pilots crash out of the air after failing to understand their foreign instruction manuals, hiding wrinkles with make-up is illegal, the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, and international terrorists often get their weapons supply in Originia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Originia's national animal is the Cassowary, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Originia is ranked 268,316^th in the world and 4,838^th in the South Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 0.84 flags saluted per person per day.
