The Kingdom of Orbisburg is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Alexander Von Hoser with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, prohibition of alcohol, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 13.449 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 2,952 trillion Orbis Pips a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 219,519 Orbis Pips, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens have to stick a fork into an electrical outlet to get a buzz, cash-strapped politicians frequently host bake sales to fund their campaigns, frisbee games on college quadrangles are grounds for expulsion, and returning vacationers often find that their property is now a construction site. 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 6,234^th in the world and 5^th in Callista for Lowest Crime Rates, with 111.21 law-abiding acts per hour.
