The Allied States of Olympa is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Allied Councillor with a fair hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.055 billion Olympans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marauder State. The average income tax rate is 83.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Olympan economy, worth 135 trillion Prongs 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 dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Retail, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 65,809 Prongs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government officials sit helplessly as they are labelled 'Pompous Womples' by celebrities, decades-serving politicians are now both out of touch and out of time, orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents, and umbrellas are back in fashion. Crime is totally unknown. Olympa's national animal is the Stag, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Olympa is ranked 13,851^st in the world and 794^th in Balder for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 83.49 Effective Tax Rate.
