The Nomadic Peoples of Oldom Urka is a very large, safe nation, notable for its smutty television, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 160 million Oldom Urkans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 16.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Oldom Urkan economy, worth 8.60 trillion eshes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 53,722 eshes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Major boxing matches are held in government buildings, citizens hear a diversity of opinions from a range of billionaire-owned corporations, programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours, and parents dread their examinations more than their children. Crime is totally unknown. Oldom Urka's national animal is the naked mole rat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Oldom Urka is ranked 108,539th in the world and 132nd in Karma for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 81.85 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
