The United Western States of Olichi is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Emily Fireheart with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program, prohibition of alcohol, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.468 billion Olichians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Motro 03. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Olichian economy, worth a remarkable 1,099 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 201,049 Credits, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

War vets look after war animals, the nation's orphanages and maternity wards have been nicknamed 'the Killbot Factories', the nation forgives those who are big enough to admit they made a mistake, and one year's corporation tax from three international megacorporations has funded one dozen shiny black pencils for Emily Fireheart's office. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Olichi's national animal is the Yoi, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Olichi is ranked 30,456^th in the world and 21^st in Cape of Good Hope for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 61,722.26 Standard Monetary Units.
