The Orange Dictatorship of Konadd is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Aust Fitzpatrick with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, strictly enforced bedtime, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.485 billion Konaddians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Social Policy and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Greater Cruxburg. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 50.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Konaddian economy, worth a remarkable 1,766 trillion Krubles a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 272,379 Krubles, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,938,527 per year while the poor average 12,647, a ratio of 153 to 1.

Emergency vehicles have built-in nudge bars to give uncooperative drivers a "gentle" push, government winter plans get a frosty reception, children and steel are ubiquitous features of the nethermost depths of Konadd, and the government endows universities based on clearly demonstrated greed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Konadd's national animal is the Warthog, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Orange.

Konadd is ranked 201,456th in the world and 4th in Neue Golden Sands for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 323.44 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
