The Republic of Olongon is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Ollah with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 8.511 billion Olongonians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Olontopia. The average income tax rate is 4.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Olongonian economy, worth a remarkable 2,768 trillion kilos a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 325,246 kilos, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

If you die during a restaurant meal the government will pick up the bill, Thomas the Spank Engine is the most popular and controversial children's show in the nation, major cities run on potato batteries, and glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Olongon's national animal is the falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Olongon is ranked 26,601st in the world and 368th in the South Pacific for Most Stationary, with 1,436.63339999848 days.
