The United Socialist States of Olianda is a small, genial nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 29 million Oliandans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 45.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Oliandan economy, worth 1.00 trillion marks a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,512 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the Oliandan government is the world's largest NGO, gambling is outlawed, and nudity is frowned upon. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Olianda's national animal is the eagle.

Olianda is ranked 46,049^th in the world and 83^rd in Saint Osmund for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 2,185.36 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
