The Kingdom of Oligard is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Mr Saj with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 3.349 billion Oligardians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oligard City. The average income tax rate is 49.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Oligardian economy, worth 344 trillion Tarovs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 102,925 Tarovs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pawn shop reality shows dominate basic cable, there are traffic jams at sea as diligent customs officers check every part of every ship, school teachers check the staff room for hidden webcams before complaining about rebellious students, and what goes down must come up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oligard's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianism.

Oligard is ranked 23,263^rd in the world and 105^th in United Kingdom for Highest Food Quality, scoring 106.72 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
