The Corporate People's State of Olastor is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Neville Sishank with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, strictly enforced bedtime, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 25.688 billion Olastians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The minute, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Olastaryn. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Olastian economy, worth an astonishing 10,045 trillion Olastian Pounds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 391,055 Olastian Pounds, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,660,773 per year while the poor average 3,544, a ratio of 1,032 to 1.

Big Beef has a steak in national politics, "Darwin's Disease" is a growing cause of death, the highest sporting award is the Grail of Tears, and prank shows are so hot right now. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Olastor's national animal is the whalefish, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Olastor is ranked 64,696^th in the world and 22^nd in Rushmore for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 4,393.98 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
