The Most Serene Republic of Oriento is a large, safe nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, soft-spoken computers, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 146 million Orientoans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 50.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Orientoan economy, worth 10.5 trillion Oriento Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is 72,099 Oriento Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Government leaders testify at international tribunals on why the sun went out, citizens are required to report any and all incidents of prayer to their local Religious Affairs Officer, the banhammer is a standard police sidearm, and pollution is on the rise along with government approvals of fracking projects. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oriento's national animal is the Unicorn, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Oriento is ranked 59,727^th in the world and 65^th in Umamusume Pretty Derby for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 4,753.73 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
