The Corner of 52nd and Broadway of Olympia WA is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, daily referendums, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 6.548 billion Olympia WAians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 53.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Olympia WAian economy, worth 780 trillion rainbows a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 119,127 rainbows, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
The army insists there is nothing gay about men in uniforms rolling in the mud, doctors spend more time writing sick notes than caring for the sick, the government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy', and top-shelf magazines feature risqué centrefold spreads of ladies' wrists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Olympia WA's national animal is the rainbow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Olympia WA is ranked 42,317th in the world and 239th in Stereo Hearts for Lowest Crime Rates, with 76.75 law-abiding acts per hour.
