The Republic of Olovyanninsky District is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its ritual sacrifices, public floggings, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-working, cynical population of 595 million Olovyanninsky Districtians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 34.7%.

The powerhouse Olovyanninsky Districtian economy, worth 54.1 trillion Ducats a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 90,930 Ducats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Students are taught to count with all 9 fingers, business ambassadors offer bong tokes to foreign leaders, scientists who publish a non-reproducible result are tarred and feathered, and heavily-laden pregnant women are told they can manage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Olovyanninsky District's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Olovyanninsky District is ranked 176,124^th in the world and 608^th in Novaya Zemlya for Largest Black Market, with 747 billion Standard Monetary Units.
