The Democratic Republic of Olieflak is a huge, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 337 million Olieflakians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dante. The average income tax rate is 74.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Olieflakian economy, worth 15.4 trillion Ols 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 45,609 Ols, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression, the dartboard at the Olieflakian Cancer Research Charity bears a picture of Leader's face, fake designer clothes are shredded and burnt while many in the world don't have a shirt on their back, and smoking is banned in public areas. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Olieflak's national animal is the Seagull, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Olieflak is ranked 56,506^th in the world and 285^th in Europeia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 72.65 law-abiding acts per hour.
