The Republic of St Olivia is a small, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The cynical, devout population of 45 million St Olivians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 74.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case St Olivian economy, worth 303 billion lire a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is 6,739 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. St Olivia's national animal is the leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

St Olivia is ranked 69,008^th in the world and 26^th in Edoca for Most Corrupt Governments, with 30.34 kickbacks per hour.
