The Best Nation in the World of Orcuo is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme OverLord with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, flagrant waste-dumping, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.143 billion Orcuans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, although Law & Order is also considered important, while Environment and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Imperial Citadel. The average income tax rate is 95.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Orcuian economy, worth a remarkable 1,759 trillion Bureau Administered Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 342,100 Bureau Administered Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Funding for education has been redirected into the military, the military has forsaken terrestrial warfare, the military is researching proton packs and PK-meters to combat "unseen enemy forces", and the military's newest toy broadcasts Orcuo's anthem on hostile frequencies to drive enemies insane. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orcuo's national animal is the Octopus, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Blue Blood Unity.

Orcuo is ranked 280,158th in the world and 6,578th in the Rejected Realms for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -13.42 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
