The Commonwealth of Orange A is a mammoth, orderly nation, remarkable for its lack of airports, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6 billion Orange Aians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 73.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Orange Aian economy, worth 730 trillion Oranges a year, is highly specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 121,804 Oranges, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

The election for Leader's office's janitor is heating up, former bars are desperately trying to re-brand themselves as cafés, trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy, and rumours have it that a secret police is responsible for the recent spate of missing persons. Crime is pervasive, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Orange A's national animal is the Eastern box turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Orange A is ranked 328,749^th in the world and 359^th in Bingos Puppet Sanctuary for Safest, scoring 3.95 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
