The Queendom of Olbers is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 13.537 billion Olbersians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.
The minute government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Education, with Welfare, Healthcare, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.0%.
The strong Olbersian economy, worth 796 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Gambling, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 58,807 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 198,698 per year while the poor average 12,873, a ratio of 15.4 to 1.
The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, employers may fire workers without giving any reason, and a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Olbers's national animal is the deer.
Olbers is ranked 252,236th in the world and 6th in New Western Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 51.01 law-abiding acts per hour.
