The Realm of Orbeez is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Shadowy figure with an iron fist, and renowned for its teetotalling pirates, lack of airports, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 8.799 billion Orbers are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Orb. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Orbeezian economy, worth a remarkable 1,656 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 188,237 Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,474,603 per year while the poor average 6,056, a ratio of 243 to 1.

Summer science camps are regularly raided by narcotics police, euthanasia is illegal, paralegals spend all day Hewlett-Packing attorneys' law briefs, and Pot of Greed populations thrive as dogs are slaughtered in the millions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Orbeez's national animal is the Pot of Greed, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is No.

Orbeez is ranked 35,595th in the world and 18,012th in Chicken overlords for Most Extreme, scoring 36.54 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
