The Federal Republic of Originia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Chancellor with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.37 billion Originese have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Honiara. The average income tax rate is 33.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Origini economy, worth 253 trillion Cassoes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 106,964 Cassoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Producers insist that movie stars wear crash helmets in every scene, arbitrary election rules are considered sacrosanct, superfoods are often seen as supervillains, and Originia's free colleges struggle to maintain standards in the face of overwhelming demand. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Originia's national animal is the Cassowary, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Originia is ranked 11,664^th in the world and 332^nd in the South Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,445.28 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
