The District of Orion Cross is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Liard with an even hand, and notable for its irreverence towards religion, devotion to social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 44.069 billion Orion Crossians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The large, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 62.6%.
The all-consuming Orion Crossian economy, worth a remarkable 3,725 trillion aurums a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is 84,542 aurums, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 260,042 per year while the poor average 21,240, a ratio of 12.2 to 1.
Orion Crossians incessantly needle their doctors for relief, baby boys who pick up pink crayons are sent to a psychiatric ward, divorce lawyers are found begging on the streets, and the only issue that Liard has is that there aren't enough issues (Orion Cross has found 3 easter eggs). Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orion Cross's national animal is the bovina, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Orion Cross is ranked 207,531st in the world and 33rd in Dog Lake for Most Corrupt Governments, with 1.11 kickbacks per hour.
