The State of Oryola is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by the Governor with an iron fist, and renowned for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 11.157 billion Oryolans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 71.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Oryolan economy, worth 78.4 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is 7,027 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, the army's use of chemical weapons leaves a bad taste in the mouth, Oryola has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Oryola in an international press conference. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oryola's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Oryola is ranked 66,446^th in the world and 1^st in Oryol Oblast for Lowest Crime Rates, with 70.63 law-abiding acts per hour.
