The Democratic Republic of Olivernesia is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical population of 249 million Olivernesians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 44.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Olivernesian economy, worth 8.27 trillion Omegas a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 33,215 Omegas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government sends submarines to retrieve bodies from shipwrecked submarines, people boast about their low income on their dating profiles, citizens select which government department gets their income tax Omegas each year, and bizarre-looking creatures called 'Jaguardogs' dominate wildlife preserves. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Olivernesia's national animal is the Jaguar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Olivernesia is ranked 116,017th in the world and 1,293rd in the West Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 8.43 kickbacks per hour.
