The Republic of Orca is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, free-roaming dinosaurs, and ban on automobiles. The democratic population of 8.978 billion Orcans 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 minute government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Industry, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.7%.

The Orcan economy, worth 329 trillion salmon a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 36,688 salmon, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 126,518 per year while the poor average 7,787, a ratio of 16.2 to 1.

The government keeps introducing new foreign species to combat the previous ones it has introduced, only AIs know why the nation is rapidly increasing its semiconductor stockpile, the government is a proud sponsor of the National Gaming Association, and small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Orca's national animal is the shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Orca is ranked 319,641^st in the world and 100^th in Paperwork for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 5.73 Effective Tax Rate.
