The GREAT WARNING of Ormast is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working, democratic population of 2.515 billion Ormastians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.8%.

The strong Ormastian economy, worth 139 trillion deniers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 55,460 deniers, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, the government is seen to favor traditionalist religions, Leader has returned as a hero from a brutal campaign to conquer the local beach, and Mr Happy's Funland has just been named Ormast's new capital. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ormast's national animal is the penguin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Ormast is ranked 219,726^th in the world and 1,051^st in the Plains of Perdition for Highest Drug Use, scoring 80.68 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
