The State of Olmedreca is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by First Citizen Herman Karm with a fair hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, rampant corporate plagiarism, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 41.585 billion Olmedrecans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Varbola. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Olmedrecan economy, worth an astonishing 14,042 trillion Kroons 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 Soda Sales, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 337,683 Kroons, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,904,809 per year while the poor average 29,456, a ratio of 64.7 to 1.

Teenagers stay out into the wee hours of the morning "stargazing", Varbola's iconic yellow taxis are nowhere to be seen, farm turkeys are given high doses of antidepressants to take their minds off the holiday season, and First Citizen Herman Karm's peyote-induced "let's all just be friends" speech is trending world-wide. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Olmedreca's national animal is the Lynx, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Olmedreca is ranked 332,799th in the world and 5th in Haven for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -58.05 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
