The Kingdom of Olaram is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its digital currency, national health service, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, cynical population of 250 million Dwarves have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 47.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Dwarven economy, worth 21.1 trillion Ignots a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 84,403 Ignots, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The government regularly publishes lengthy reports on its own excessive recordkeeping, cane fights are a common sight in nursing homes, lobotomies haven't been the same after the practice was severed, and libraries are replacing history books and classic novels with technical manuals and trades directories to match the nation's changing demands. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Olaram's national animal is the Gryphon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Olaram is ranked 299,171^st in the world and 760^th in Horizon for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 23.39 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
