The Earldom of Ormonde is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 23.824 billion Ormondeans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Environment, and Education. The average income tax rate is 27.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Ormondean economy, worth 715 trillion Punts a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Gambling, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 30,027 Punts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

All forms of advertising are banned, religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Ormonde's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ormonde is ranked 179,587^th in the world and 1^st in The popular front for a united balder for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 971.9 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
