The Ladies and Gentlemen of Oliverandria is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Sarah Palins Clone with an even hand, and remarkable for its aversion to nipples, avowedly heterosexual populace, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 10.291 billion Oliverandrians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hogwarts. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Oliverandrian economy, worth a remarkable 1,798 trillion French Toast Sticks a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 174,769 French Toast Sticks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The new coalition government is so large nobody knows where it begins, manual labourers must be willing to have cybernetic limbs to get a job, nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths, and forgetting to pay your annual passport bill is a leading cause of deportations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oliverandria's national animal is the Monster VSCO Girl, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Sirentology.
Oliverandria is ranked 1,669th in the world and 1st in Silent Football for Lowest Crime Rates, with 151.49 law-abiding acts per hour.
