Orwell does work, North Korea and Cuba are examples of that. But you can't create an Orwellian police state over night, and those sorts of oppressive regimes tend to be unstable (Libya, East Germany, Romania, etc. all gone now).

Only if there is an "outside", to force reality in. If you are the emperor, and control everything, the Orwellian state works very nicely..
