The Republic of North Olivia is a tiny, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 10 million North Olivians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.6%.

The very strong North Olivian economy, worth 686 billion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Soda Sales. Average income is 68,629 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 9.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. North Olivia's national animal is the falcon, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

North Olivia is ranked 226,017^th in the world and 1,688^th in the Rejected Realms for Nicest Citizens, with 12 average smiles per day.
