The People's State of Olvaria is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by High Chairman Helios with an even hand, and renowned for its soft-spoken computers, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 21.319 billion Olvarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Truvol. The average income tax rate is 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Olvarian economy, worth a remarkable 4,167 trillion Tabels a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 195,483 Tabels, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tourists are forbidden to enter Native Olvarian lands, 'Let's Get It On' has jumped to #1 on the billboard charts, there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, and Olvaria has been recently classified as an international menace after 'liberating' several nearby territories. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Olvaria's national animal is the Hurfdog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is irrelevant.

Olvaria is ranked 14,617^th in the world and 2^nd in Testregionia for Most Patriotic, with 59.16 flags saluted per person per day.
