The Kingdom of Orbisburg is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Alexander Von Hoser with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 13.517 billion Orbisburgians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Koncent. The average income tax rate is 87.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Orbisburgian economy, worth a remarkable 2,967 trillion Orbis Pips a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 219,539 Orbis Pips, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Cash-strapped politicians frequently host bake sales to fund their campaigns, frisbee games on college quadrangles are grounds for expulsion, returning vacationers often find that their property is now a construction site, and contemporary art museums showcase the latest in centuries-old art. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orbisburg's national animal is the Bluetipped Deathclaw, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Thaliaism.

Orbisburg is ranked 5,353^rd in the world and 2^nd in Callista for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 14,706.6 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
