The State of Orkneys is a titanic, genial nation, notable for its burgeoning deer population. The cynical population of 11.098 billion Orkneysians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 13.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Orkneysian economy, worth 438 trillion betales a year, is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,498 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Gambling is outlawed, extreme political groups are outlawed, military funding has been stripped back, and Orkneys has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orkneys's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Orkneys is ranked 268,429^th in the world and 1^st in Orkneys for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7.07 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
