The Golden Empire of Ovelanare is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Lady Cheneka Tabec III with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 11.101 billion Ovelenares are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Golden City of the Common People. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Ovelenarean economy, worth a remarkable 2,318 trillion Golden Gazetas 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 208,816 Golden Gazetas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

You need two tenors and a coloratura contralto to sing the national anthem properly, the nation's counterintelligence budget is all up in the air, military officers are given medals for disobeying orders, and passwords to nuclear codes must now contain upper and lower case characters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ovelanare's national animal is the Golden Oriole, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Faith of the Golden Gods.

Ovelanare is ranked 281,443rd in the world and 10,524th in Osiris for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.63 kickbacks per hour.
