The People's State of Olvaria is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by General-Secretary Helios with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 25.235 billion Olvarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Truvol. The average income tax rate is 98.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Olvarian economy, worth a remarkable 5,099 trillion Tabels a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 202,065 Tabels, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People with hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia faint upon diagnosis, Goldilocks has found a lucrative career as a zoning consultant, workers seize the means of production as foreign troops seize Olvaria's autonomy, and sporting events are the biggest source of funding for Olvarian schools. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Olvaria's national animal is the Hurfdog, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is irrelevant.

Olvaria is ranked 292,416th in the world and 26th in Testregionia for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -7.04 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
