The Capitalist Stratocracy of Orksian is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Orks with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, prohibition of alcohol, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 8.075 billion Orksians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kebab HQ. The average income tax rate is 95.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Orksian economy, worth a remarkable 2,941 trillion Company Shares a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 364,272 Company Shares, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,090,034 per year while the poor average 30,567, a ratio of 68.4 to 1.

Young and brooding teens are welcomed with open arms to the Dogwarts School of Strangeness and Sorcery, public spending advocates dread when the government says they're here to help, citizens are bombarded with advertising from their compulsory miniature radios, and press conferences always end with standing ovations and rapturous applause. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orksian's national animal is the Lamb, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Athiest.

Orksian is ranked 4,169th in the world and 11th in The League for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 64,556.91 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
