The Bristate of Olbri is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Old Bri with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 25.247 billion Olbrians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government prioritizes Welfare, with Healthcare, Education, and Social Policy also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Olbria. The average income tax rate is 45.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Olbrian economy, worth 599 trillion Olbs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 23,760 Olbs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, Olbri has designated Olbria as its capital city, and Old Bri has just been declared ruler of Olbri in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Olbri's national animal is the owl, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Briism.

Olbri is ranked 136,784th in the world and 2nd in Spectrocity for Lowest Crime Rates, with 62.1 law-abiding acts per hour.
