The Fantasy Discworld of Orasil is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Life with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, smutty television, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, cheerful population of 16.756 billion Orasilians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Quisa. The average income tax rate is 99.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Orasilian economy, worth a remarkable 5,841 trillion Orasilian Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 348,607 Orasilian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It can be a real jungle in a modern courtroom, angry men scowl at each other across chess boards, gift baskets often contain working nukes, and at least 1% of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs budget goes to Life's wardrobe. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orasil's national animal is the Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Orasil is ranked 275^th in the world and 1^st in The United Federations for Safest, scoring 195.67 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
