DATE Pacific > Olvana > Infrastructure: Olvana ←You are here


While the region’s five major countries have a significant number of rural residents, more than half of Olvana’s residents live in urban areas (57.9 percent). The country contains a mixture of modern urban cities and primitive rural villages. Modern utilities are predominantly in the major cities and at reasonable levels throughout the rural countryside. Ninety-nine percent of the nation has access to electricity with 100 percent of urban areas and 99.8 percent of rural areas respectively.   Ninety-five percent of Olvana has access to potable water, while only 76.5 percent of the nation having access to sanitation systems (predominantly in the developed urban areas).

The Olvana infrastructure is modern and continues to improve as the urbanization continues. Significant emphasis is placed on the modernizing of the infrastructure in the past 20 years. Olvana has a state of the art mass transit system.  The Olvanese 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.

Construction Patterns

Many of the urban and suburban cities contain skyscraper buildings (of at least 100m tall), apartment complexes, and residential suburbs. Typical rural construction in the north is stone, tamped mud or sundried bricks reinforced with straw.  In the south is the typical construction is wood, brick or woven bamboo.  In both areas, the roofs are typically peaked and covered in tile.  The rural houses are typically built around a courtyard, this is to provide protection from the winds and provide places to keep animals such as pigs and chickens. 

Construction patterns in Olvana’s urban areas are high-rise construction and urban sprawl.  The houses on the outskirts of the major urban area are generally one to two story homes built with a courtyard in the center.  The Olvanese government has invested in urban planning to ensure it is not only sustainable but with plans that go out in five, 10 and 50 year planning cycles to ensure they stay at the forefront and can provide for growth.  Due to vast amounts of rural areas, cities are not limited to just upward construction they can also continue to expand.

Military operations in urban areas will initially benefit from modern electricity, water, sewage, and other utility services.  Urban areas provide the additional networks of the vertical structures that will need to be dealt with as well as vast subterranean networks for transportation and infrastructure.  Due to the expansive metropolitan population, Olvana will require extensive intensive urban operations.

Major Olvanian Cities and Urban Zones

Olvana has five major cities that account for approximately 40 percent of population density of the nation.

Shanghai

Shanghai (population 29.87 million residents) is the capital city and largest city in Olvana.  Shanghai is also the largest city in the world.  It is the financial hub of Olvana and is a global powerhouse.  It has the world’s longest metropolitan transportation system with 587 km of track and tunnels.  The road network is modern and the hub for national highway network.  It contains Olvana’s largest port and is a center sea commerce.  The architecture is a combination of modern steel and concrete construction and buildings dating back to 1,400 years ago.  There are over 30 universities in the city with some run by the Olvanese government. Tourism plays a significant role in the economy of the city.

Chongqing

Chongqing (population 17.54 million residents), is located 1447 km to the west of Shanghai.  The city become of major importance with the building of the Three Gorges Dam.  It is built in the mountains and bordered by the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers. Chongqing has the most bridges of any area in all of Olvanese with over 50 crossing the rivers, with the bulk of them meeting western standards.  Chongqing has 15 college and universities that range from military universities to medical schools.  The city has modern skyscrapers and traditional Olvanese construction in close proximity.  The downtown is a series of high-rise skyscrapers and multistory apartment buildings.

Guangzhou

Guangzhou (population 17.72 million residents) is located 1447 km southwest of Shanghai.  The city has been in existence for over 2,200 years and has continued to modernize throughout the years.  It maintains many historic buildings and temples while becoming a modern city.  The construction is concrete and steel for the skyscrapers and multistory apartment buildings.  The road network is consistent with western standards.  The local government continues to update the infrastructure to ensure it is capable of meeting all the demands placed on it.

Wuhan

Wuhan (population 11.14 million residents) is located 690 km west of Shanghai.  The port of Wuhan is currently going through a major overhaul. The Olvanese government is investing in expanding the port to increase capacity throughput from three berths to 22. The city has experienced a rapid growth over the past 15 years, the city planners were able to keep the infrastructure increasing at the same rate. The local government has invested heavily in environmentally friendly manufacturing and construction to decrease pollution and has made significant gains.  The majority of construction is high-rise buildings for offices of steel and concrete construction.  Multi story apartment buildings made of concrete and brick are throughout the city.

Hong Kong

Hong Kong (population 10.42 million residents) is located 1223 km south of Shanghai.  The port of Hong Kong is one of the busiest ports in Olvana and the world.  Three years ago, the infrastructure of Hong Kong was ranked the best in the world.  The buildings throughout the city range from ones built in the late 19th century to current modern skyscrapers.  As space is at a premium for construction many old buildings have fallen into a state of disrepair and are being torn down to make way for vertical construction (skyscrapers).  The main construction in the city center is modern high-rise construction.  The city has a vast ferry network to transport many of the workers to the island to work every day.

Population Density

  • Shanghai: 2,059 per square km
  • Chongqing: 350 per square km
  • Guangzhou: 1,800 per square km
  • Wuhan: 1,200 per square km
  • Hong Kong: 600 per square km

Utilities Present

The Pacific faces a dichotomy when it comes to utilities present such as electricity, water, and sewage treatment. The majority of urban households can access modern utilities, but the rural areas have a more limited access to a number of them.  Rural areas still have a communal water source and twin vault alternating pit latrines.

Power

Olvana's total power generating capacity is over 888 gigawatts. Most of their power plants are coal fired (63%), with hydroelectric a distant second, accounting for 25% of the total. Ten nuclear plants produce just over 29,000 MW, or three percent of the national total capacity. Less that one percent of the population does not have access to electricity. While the proportional contribution of wind and solar power is negligible due to the sheer volume of power produced, over 11,000 MW is produced by wind power. The limited impact of the solar and wind power is due to outdated transmission grid and requires updating to make any substantial impact. While the transmission grid may require modernization, almost half of the country's power is diversified across 1,500 plants rated below 1,500 MW. The major plants are listed in the following table.

Water

Nearly all of the population in urban areas (97.5 percent) in Olvana have access to improved potable water. As areas become more rural, only 93 percent have access relying on local sources (rivers and streams) or community wells.

The urbanization of the population has caused significant strain on water delivery systems; the government has initiated projects to improve the water quality and access. In many of the rural areas, the water is polluted from spills from either factories, raw sewage or illegal dumping. Rural Olvanese have nearly over 10% of their water supply that is not safe to use even for irrigation due to heavy metal contamination. Military personnel should find potable water in the urban areas but may see a shortage in the rural areas.  Prior to use of any local water source they should be tested and potentially treat for contamination.

Sewage

Olvanese that reside in the urban areas have access to some sort of sewage system.  86.6 percent of residents have access to improved sanitation services. 13.4 percent of residents have access to unimproved facilities (pit latrines).  In the rural areas, only 63.7 percent of the population has access to improved sewage (septic / modern pipes); the remaining 36.3 percent have access to twin vault alternating pit latrines.  Only a small portion of the wastewater is treated which has led to contamination of 61.5 percent of groundwater and 28.8 percent of key rivers being determined to be not suitable for human contact. Due to limited wastewater treatment facilities, most domestic wastewater is discharged without treatment.  Five years ago the government has dramatically increased the emphasis on reducing pollution to include water contamination.  The government has several projects approved for modernizing the sewage system in both urban and rural areas.

Transportation Architecture

Roads are the primary transportation method throughout Olvana.  The rail network of the country is very modern as it has been upgraded or installed in the past 15 years to support mass transit.  The government has invested and subsidized mass transit over the past 12 years to help reduce pollution and congestion.  The majority of roads are in good condition as they are paid for through a toll system and private companies.

Road Systems

Overall, roads in Olvana meet US or Western European standards.  The exception will be in the rural and smaller villages that still have something a little wider than a footpath to get through them.  Driving can be hazardous as the enforcement of traffic laws vary greatly across the nation.  In general, drivers drive chaotic and unregulated, Olvana has one of the highest rate of accidents in the region.  Of note, that pedestrians do not have the right of way when crossing a road (even at a crosswalk).  Due to large amounts of congestion on the roadways, the drivers will drive very aggressively. 

Olvana has a vast national road network of 4,602,150 km that includes 4,100,225 km of paved roads.  The road network consists mainly of three types of national roads: Freeways, Olvana National Highways, and Express Routes.  Freeways are toll roads that are unencumbered by stoplights / signs and cross traffic is separated.  Olvana National Highways are trunk roads across the country they may have portions that are toll roads.  Express routes are freeways that run through the major urban areas.  The government of Olvana does not maintain any of road networks as that is left to for profit businesses and the local cities, towns and villages. Most urban roads have heavy traffic and are viewed as dangerous because of aggressive driving habits.

Military traffic / convoys on the road networks will be stressed due to large amounts of traffic and the aggressive driving nature of the Olvanese and impatience to wait in traffic.

Bus

All towns and villages have at least daily bus traffic through the area.  The majority of urban areas will have multiple bus stations that have regularly scheduled departure to points around the city or cross country routes. The bus companies are independently owned and operated.  The buses run both in the major metropolitan areas and to the more rural areas.  Due to relatively low cost of other methods of public transportation (bullet trains / subway), buses are typically used for shorter distance travel within major urban areas and between rural towns and villages.

Buses operate throughout Olvana, providing mainly travel to the civilian population within the urban areas. Very few Olvanese use them for long distance travel, as there are other more efficient and reliable ways to move around the nation. The buses used by the private companies do not come from any predominant company. Many of the buses have air conditioning and have been upgraded to be electric for operation in the city. Many of the major bus companies originate their lines from the major metropolitan areas and then run to the more rural areas.  The Olvanese government has been subsidizing the bus system to help pay for upgrades to the mass transit system and in an effort to decrease pollution.

Any military operations in the country that affect the bus system may cause strain on the mass transportation system and cause extended delays resulting in a decreased perception of military forces by the civilian population.

Rail

The country has 110,000 km of rail in the country, with 75,000 km of rail currently electrified and 22,000 km being high speed rail.  Olvana approved several projects to modernize the rail system over the past 15 years to improve commuter travel throughout the nation.  The main project is a high-speed rail line to help decrease pollution and congestion throughout the country.  Olvana rail consists of standard gauge (1.435 m) which is in use by the neighboring countries.  The locomotives used in Olvana are diesel or electric.  Of note 28 of 33 provinces are connected by high speed rail.

Air Transportation Systems

All five countries maintain both paved and unpaved runways of varying distances. Many of the unpaved runways resemble cleared dirt strips not suitable for most modern aircraft.

Olvana contains 300 airports. Very little is known about the unpaved runways in Olvana.  The map shows the location of all the major airports and the chart below shows the details for each runway.  Of note, less than 33 percent of the airspace is allocated to civilian aircraft. During times of military exercises that can be decreased to less than 25 percent that causes an already stressed system that have hours of delays and hundreds of cancelled flights.   Olvana’s known runways by length include the following:

Paved Runways

  • Over 10,000 feet: 71
  • 8,000 to 10,000 feet: 150
  • 5,000 to 8,000 feet: 115
  • 3,000 to 5,000 feet: 25
  • Under 3,000 feet: 86

Airports/Airlines

Air Olvana Airlines is the flagship carrier for Olvana.  Air Olvana Airlines flies internationally to 14 countries across the world.  Multiple international airports operate in Olvana predominately on the west coast and central area.  Olvana possess enough airports to support major military operations.  The airlines do not travel on time and are plagued with cancelled flights and hours long delays.

Ports/Sea/River Transportation Systems

The Olvana fleet consists of 697 cargo ships, 1,040 bulk carrier ships, 400 petroleum, and 150 container ships.

Pipelines

Olvana has 70,000 km of gas pipelines, 20,000 km of crude oil pipelines, 23,000 km of refined petroleum products pipelines, and 700,000 km of water pipelines.  The gas pipelines along the west coast from the southernmost point to the northern border, they also run from the northeast boarder to Shanghai.  Three of the pipelines cross in to adjacent countries.  The crude oil pipelines follow generally the same routs.  These pipelines are government owned and operated.  The gas pipelines are extremely vital to the infrastructure as they provide the natural gas to use for heat and power and move away from coal.

Telecommunications Architecture

In Olvana, almost all citizens can access a telephone and listen to a radio or television, and over 54 percent of the population has access to the internet.  Approximately 10 years ago the countries six telecommunications companies were merged to create three telecommunications companies.  Olvanese operate approximately 230 million landlines and a billion cell phones.  The country has approximately 1000 stations that are government owned.  The government operates all television stations. Cable is the main provider of television channels.  (See Information variable for additional details.)

Agriculture

8.5 percent of Olvanese engage in agricultural work, which account for only 10 percent of the country’s GDP. The bulk of Olvanese farms are medium sized farms.  The major agriculture productions in the country are wheat, sorghum, millet, barley, soybeans, rice, and radishes.  The current agriculture production is sufficient to sustain the population and the country exports grains and meat to meet the demand of the populace.

Industry

The Olvana industrial complex is the number one producer of steel in the world, the largest consumer / producer of chemicals accounting for 1/3rd of the global demand.  Manufacturing comprise roughly 46.6 percent of the GDP. With the government, relaxing some of the restrictions on private investments and ownership has caused an increase in industries.  Military operations must be aware of the manufacturing areas and ensure not to disrupt them.

Oil/Gas

Olvana is the world’s largest oil importer.  It comes from a pipeline in the north and is brought by ships to the ports.  Olvana has a very large oil infrastructure that produces approximately 10,155,000 barrels of crude a day.  The country must import oil to meet the demand in the country, which is equivalent to 960,000 barrels a day of oil to remain functioning. There has been exploration done in the contested South China Sea to locate more oil but there has been limited success.

Military operations in the area must ensure that oil is imported to support the economy and citizens of the country to ensure development during and post hostilities.

Olvana has been producing the most natural gas that it has in the past 40 years and it still does not meet the demand in the country.  There are two main pipelines that natural gas in from neighboring countries.  The shift to cleaner burning fuels is done in response moving away from coal to decrease the air pollution.  The neighboring countries have the ability to shut off the pipelines in the event hostilities.

Defense Industries

The defense industry in Olvana is growing with the recent opening of the defense industry to commercial investors. This defense industry exports aircraft, tankers, air defense equipment, weapons, ammunition, and munitions to developing nations.  The sales serve both commercial and strategic purposes.  Olvana is currently developing a laboratory complex to further research and development of military capabilities.  The Olvana Defense Minister recently sealed a deal for an Olvanese arms factory to build a production and maintenance facility for Olvanese weapons in Belesia.

Nuclear

Olvana has a nuclear power program and possesses nuclear weapons.  They currently have 30 nuclear power plants that produce approximately 2 percent of the nation’s power.  All of the nuclear plants have been built in the past 20 years and are presumed to be safe. The country has not signed any nuclear non-proliferation or destruction treaties.  Olvana is believed to possess approximately 500 nuclear warheads. There is an extensive unground network of tunnels throughout the country where the warheads and missiles are stored to protect them from attack from aircraft, artillery and missiles.

Space

Olvana has been has been actively pursuing its space program.  It currently has 23 satellites for communications and navigation purposes in orbit.  They have been advancing their rocket program as delivery vehicles for their satellites. They are also currently working on developing a space station.

Pollution

Olvana faces a wide range of pollution issues to include air pollution, ground water contamination, and pollution of lakes and rivers.  Much of the pollution stems from the lack of environmental regulation and the industrial boom in the late 20th century.   With the government, running all the industry during that time there was little concern for the environment.  Air pollution especially in the major cities is among the worst in the world.  The use of coal to heat buildings and provide power has created a smog level that is the intolerable.  The main pollutants from the industrial sector are from heavy metals (lead, mercury, chromium). Olvana has taken an aggressive stance on reducing the pollution throughout the country and has improved air quality by over 30 percent in the past 10 years.  The government is actively enforcing antipollution and environmental regulations.

Summary

The Olvana infrastructure is modern and continues to improve as the urbanization continues. Significant emphasis is placed on the modernizing of the infrastructure in the past 20 years. Olvana has a state of the art mass transit system.  The Olvanese 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.
