The Grand Duchy of Holstein-Oldenburg is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its burgeoning lion population. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.927 billion Holstein-Oldenburgians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 12.6%.

The Holstein-Oldenburgian economy, worth 106 trillion marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 55,317 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low. Holstein-Oldenburg's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Holstein-Oldenburg is ranked 246,926^th in the world and 1^st in Oldenburg for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 179.38 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
