The Republic of Orphan is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Reddy The Great with an iron fist, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.556 billion Orphanians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Delhi. The average income tax rate is 66.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Orphanian economy, worth 193 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 124,301 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Failed genetic experiments wreak havoc as they roam the countryside, the running costs of homeless shelters are so high that it would be cheaper to buy houses for the homeless, the nation's leader is normally just referred to as "snuggle-wuggle-huggy-bear", and scientists are researching the best way to kill off humanity to prevent catastrophic war. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orphan's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Hinduism.

Orphan is ranked 53,209^th in the world and 435^th in Europeia for Most Cultured, scoring 71 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
