The Commonwealth of Orange D is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed population of 874 million Orange Dians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 45.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The strong Orange Dian economy, worth 61.6 trillion Oranges a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 70,520 Oranges, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Angst-filled teenagers are rushing off to buy government bonds for some odd reason, many parents are becoming frustrated with their children's choices in spouses, all animals are equal but some are more equal than others, and concert halls sport signs proclaiming "No Shorts, Sandals or Swastikas". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orange D's national animal is the Eastern box turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.
Orange D is ranked 100,241st in the world and 30th in Commonwealth Of Orange Nations for Safest, scoring 82.55 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
