The Principality of Oranjeiland is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 307 million Oranjians 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Henrikbul. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45.8%.

The powerhouse Oranjian economy, worth 24.4 trillion rand a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is 79,423 rand, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 311,408 per year while the poor average 13,780, a ratio of 22.6 to 1.

Kids refer to anything below the neck as "the parts that shall not be named", Saturday morning cartoons feature full frontal nudity, invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, and every workday begins with group therapy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oranjeiland's national animal is the crowned-and-armed lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Oranjeiland is ranked 80,686th in the world and 1,764th in The North Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 79,423.21 Standard Monetary Units.
