The Queendom of Olmsted is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its state-planned economy and punitive income tax rates. The hard-working, cynical population of 17.922 billion Olmstedians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 67.3%.

The Olmstedian economy, worth 790 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming and Basket Weaving. Average income is 44,094 betales, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, employers may fire workers without giving any reason, euthanasia is legal, and organ donation is compulsory. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Olmsted's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Olmsted is ranked 182,182^nd in the world and 5^th in Rhode Island for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 611.42 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
