The LordNwahs-ian Republic of Olvern is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Nwahs with a fair hand, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, unlimited-speed roads, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 3.521 billion Olvernians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.
The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Olvernian economy, worth 646 trillion Tokens a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 183,622 Tokens, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 732,665 per year while the poor average 30,959, a ratio of 23.7 to 1.
A recent political speech drew the ire of nerds everywhere after the speaker claimed that Darth Vader was Harry Potter's father, only the richest get to see out of their windows, the nation is renowned abroad for its love of blood and guts, and voter turnout for the election of the Junior Assistant for Non-Digital Media Strategies has been unsurprisingly low. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Olvern's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Olvern is ranked 117,870th in the world and 2,247th in The North Pacific for Most Armed, with 0.36 weapons per person.
