The Republic of Orhland is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Wowser with an even hand, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.662 billion Orhlandians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Abiet. The average income tax rate is 97.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Orhlandian economy, worth 692 trillion Liavs 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 148,540 Liavs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Widow Twankey complains about being "cancelled", annulments are on the rise as couples discover their ancestors were born in the same hospitals, gay men commonly complain about their time of the month, and modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orhland's national animal is the Green Magpie, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Orhland is ranked 18,479^th in the world and 15^th in The Commonwealth Society for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 292.95 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
