The Patrimonium of Saint Olav is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Saint Olav with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed population of 17.593 billion Saint Olavians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Akershus. The average income tax rate is 93.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Saint Olavian economy, worth a remarkable 2,048 trillion Pennings a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 116,414 Pennings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children often explain to their parents that the Mega Ultimate Sword Fist was worth the thousand-Penning charge on their phone bill, the latest "must-have" uPhone is 1/4 mm thinner than last year's uPhone, preschools put children down for naps with milk, cookies, and a gruesome story of vengeance, and minstrels carrying coconut shells provide sound effects wherever their nobles wander. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saint Olav's national animal is the Crowned Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Saint Olav is ranked 13,442^nd in the world and 4^th in Agora for Highest Food Quality, scoring 141.75 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
