The Federation of Oriente is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by First Minister Pavlos Atreidis with a fair hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, national health service, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 15.206 billion Orienteans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ancyra. The average income tax rate is 34.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Orientean economy, worth 863 trillion euromarks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 56,769 euromarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries, using "inspect element" is grounds for espionage charges, sex-ed is child's play, and families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Oriente's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Azov Orthodox Church.

Oriente is ranked 135,252^nd in the world and 2^nd in Anatolia for Most Developed, scoring 56.91 on the Human Development Index.
