The Kingdom of Olaram is a very large, cultured nation, remarkable for its national health service, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 213 million Dwarves are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 49.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Dwarven economy, worth 16.9 trillion Ignots a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 79,113 Ignots, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Major internet servers have acquired citizenship, the number of students attending university has reached a record high, royal mothers are increasingly sidelined as news crews strain for interviews and photoshoots with "the hot nanny", and formerly fertile fields are being leached dry of nutrients by intensive farming. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Olaram's national animal is the Gryphon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Olaram is ranked 165,037^th in the world and 416^th in Horizon for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 1,408.72 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
