The Republic of Orphan is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Reddy The Great with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, infamous sell-swords, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.702 billion Orphanians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Delhi. The average income tax rate is 67.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Orphanian economy, worth 227 trillion dollars a year, is broadly 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 133,808 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Short shrift is being given to applications for political asylum from illegal immigrants, raver DJ XStacy holds multiple medical degrees in chillaxing, money always talks but the taboo subject of death just brings silence, and sick Orphanians are hair today and gone tomorrow. 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 313,134^th in the world and 1,245^th in Europeia for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 21.84 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
