The OPA active duty units operates primarily Tier 1 and 2 weapons. As new weapons are fielded by the OPA, the older Tier 3 weapons are cascaded to the reserve units or sold to other countries.

Political
The People’s Republic of Olvana is a communist nation that was created in the mid-20th Century after several decades of internal civil conflicts and global wars. Though the government has evolved over its seven decades of existence, it is still dominated by the Olvanan Communist Party. While the government was uncompromising in its approaches to social change during the mid to late 20th Century, it has adopted a more lenient stance regarding the way it approaches domestic economic and social challenges. Today, Olvana’s massive economy and modernizing military have enabled it to become a regional hegemon capable of exerting tremendous pressure and influence throughout the region and across the globe.
Military
As the largest country in terms of size and population in the region, Olvana maintains the largest military in the Pacific region. The Olvana People’s Army (OPA) is composed of not only a land force, but the Olvana People’s Navy (OPN) and Olvana People’s Air Force (OPAF) are subordinate to the OPA. Olvana’s military has been undergoing a push to modernize its equipment and transform the way it prepares for and executes military operations. Olvana has successfully closed the technological gap that once separated it from western militaries, enabling its forces to create challenges for even the most advanced adversaries, and allowing Olvana to become a leading exporter of military technology to developing countries. The OPA active duty units operates primarily Tier 1 and 2 weapons. As new weapons are fielded by the OPA, the older Tier 3 weapons are cascaded to the reserve units or sold to other countries. The military plays a large role within Olvana’s national strategy, not only in a traditional sense, but also in building influence and shaping conditions during competition.
Economic
Over the last half-century, Olvana has gradually evolved from being a primarily agrarian economy into one of the world’s economic powers. The state run economy increased its emphasis on foreign trade and foreign investments. These reforms, coupled with cheap labor and mass industrialization, allowed Olvana to become a major trading partner with the world. The resultant economic growth raised the country from one of the poorest underdeveloped nations to one of the world’s leading economic superpowers. Olvana uses its economic influence to shape regional and global international relations.
Social
Olvana’s sheer size, both geographic and in population, means it is an extremely socially diverse country. The Olvan ethnicity shapes the predominant national culture, however there are a wide variety of minority groups. During the latter half of the 20th Century, the Olvanan Government took steps toward social control, seeking to assimilate all minority populations and push out religion. These efforts led to mixed results, and eventually the government began to relax its policies on forced assimilation. That said, some among the minority populations still believe that the government is seeking assimilation through economic means. While the overwhelming majority of the population embraces the Olvanan culture as it is defined by the state, it remains a friction point among minority populations. The two primary religions are Hinduism, and the traditional Olvan Folk Religion. The Hindu population is found within the interior of the country while the Olvan Folk Religion is practiced more in the eastern and coastal regions. In addition to these two primary religions, Olvana is also home to Muslims, Christians, and others.
Information
The People’s Republic of Olvana (PRO) maintains a large information environment, with its internet industries counted among the world’s most active. Olvana is, however, one of the world’s most restrictive media environments. Olvana will utilize its cyber capabilities against external opposition parties and foreign governments. Olvana will also attempt retain total control over the nation’s internal information environment by suppressing dissent within the populace over all communications mediums, though the internet remains the most free and accessible.
Infrastructure
The Olvana infrastructure is modern and continues to improve as the urbanization continues. Significant emphasis was placed on modernizing the infrastructure in the past 20 years. Olvana has a state of the art mass transit system. The Olvanan government continues to subsidize the mass transit system to increase ridership and decrease congestion on the roads and air pollution. Airports range from large international airports that can handle almost any aircraft currently in production to small, unimproved dirt strips. Seaports are modern and can handle all modern cargo vessels. The country recently suffered from high levels of pollution in the urban areas and the government has made policies to combat pollution in urban environments. Air pollution has improved significantly but ground and water pollution are still way above acceptable western levels.
Physical Environment
Olvana is a large country located in eastern Asia that borders three major bodies of water: the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, and the South China Sea. The country’s terrain varies from high mountains and green plateaus to river valleys and deltas, with climates ranging from tropical to semiarid to sub-alpine. Multiple natural hazards exits, resulting from Olvana’s geology, weather, native wildlife, and human activity.
Time
Olvanans see time as a precious resource, which is extremely important, as such they frequently apologize for taking up someone's time. They do not accept tardiness and will often arrive 30 minutes prior to an agreed time. Olvanan time management stems from the other-centric view that one should use as little of another’s time as possible. The concept of karma as applied to consideration of others leads to short, concise events that begin early and end even earlier. This extremely fast-paced and time-focused culture is viewed positively by the government and has been reinforced accordingly. This has resulted in a proactive, offensive view of conflict that focuses on pre-emptive action. US personnel interacting with Olvanan military leaders will need to prepare extensively beforehand and have potential decisions pre-approved by the chain of command in order to be successful. Olvana sits within the Olvanan Time Zone (OTZ), which is seven hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)/Coordinated Universal Time (UTC); it does not observe Daylight Saving Time (DST).
Threat Actor Table
| Group Name | Type | Country | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yellow Sashes | Insurgency | Olvana | The Yellow Sashes are primarily Hindu who detest the Olvana communist government’s repression of religion. The Yellow Sashes are often traditionalists who wish to return the country back to the way it was 150 years ago. The Yellow Sashes want a return to the previous form of government before communism, which was a hereditary monarchy. |
| Olvana Jemaah Islamiyah | Insurgency | Olvana | The OJI is a Muslim insurgent group that operates primarily in Western Olvana with many of its leaders training in the Middle East. As the OJI becomes stronger, the group continues to push further to the east. The mainline OJI is usually content to slowly convert people to Islam by providing services to the poor rural people that the central Olvana government seems to forget. There are OJI cells that do not feel the conversion process is occurring fast enough, however, and are trying to convert the rural villages by force. |
| Olvana Mission | Insurgency | Olvana | The OCP is not a political party, but a group of Christian missionaries whose mission is to make the lives of rural Olvanians better while converting them. The Olvana central government is not extreme in its denunciation of religion and will generally allow various religions to practice as long as those practicing their faith do not use it as a means to overturn the current political structure. The OCP is on the cusp of going from a group tolerated by the Olvana government in the northwestern part of the country to one that the communists will seek to destroy. |
| Tantoco Cartel | Criminal | Olvana, South Torbia, Belesia | The Tantoco Cartel was founded in the Republic of Torbia, it also operates in the largest cities of Olvana. The Tantoco Cartel is involved in almost every type of criminal activity imaginable: drug and weapons smuggling, extortion, motor vehicle theft, illegal gambling, money laundering, counterfeiting, and murder-for-hire. The Olvana government is serious about bribery as some senior government leaders have been forced to resign or imprisoned when caught taking bribes. |
| Black Societies | Criminal | Olvana | There are a number of “black societies” or organized criminal networks in the largest cities in Olvana. These criminal networks are normally family affairs, with each family staying local to avoid conflict with other groups. These criminal networks are involved in armed robbery, racketeering, smuggling, narcotics trafficking, prostitution, gambling, and contract killings. These groups are not happy with the Tantoco Cartel moving into their cities, and may fight them to keep Tantoco out. These groups are normally named after a color and an animal, usually a bird of prey. |
