The Federal Republic of Orizzia is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by Adar with a fair hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, daily referendums, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, democratic population of 770 million Orizzians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Virtualia. The average income tax rate is 90.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Orizzian economy, worth 74.6 trillion lire a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Uranium Mining. Average income is 96,947 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Virtualia Times is sold out, earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss, vegetables are crisper thanks to CRISPR, and an endless multinational bureaucracy connects the Red Bloc. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orizzia's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Orizzia is ranked 260,431^st in the world and 12,346^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -194.3 on the Hayek Index.
