The Kingdom of Olaram is a mid-sized, genial nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical population of 86 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, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 42.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Dwarven economy, worth 4.53 trillion Ignots a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 52,677 Ignots, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government has implemented minimum wage laws, elections are outlawed and a hairstylist has recently received a government appointment, national park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings, and teenagers claim that morning paper rounds are performance art. 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 273,090^th in the world and 768^th in Horizon for Fattest Citizens, with 6.54 Obesity Rate.
