The Große Republik of Orectolobidae is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Prez with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 16.944 billion Orectolobidaeans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Environment, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wobbegong City. The average income tax rate is 70.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Orectolobidaean economy, worth a remarkable 2,744 trillion Wobbegong Dollas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 161,997 Wobbegong Dollas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

NPCs in MMORPGs regularly interrupt cutscenes with OOC reminders that they aren't real people, the government has spent days debating the merits of a petition calling for a ban on sporks, prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams, and the face of Prez is a permanent feature of the Wobbegong City skyline. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orectolobidae's national animal is the Wobbegong, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Orectolobidae is ranked 282,242^nd in the world and 4^th in Solid Kingdom for Most Primitive, scoring -377.35 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
