Military

Main article: Military: Olvana

Since the People’s Republic of Olvana (Olvana) is the largest country in terms of size and population in the region and with an intent to serve as the regional hegemon, 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 attempts to influence the region by the deployment of advisors to various countries and the sale of military weapons to their allies.

Economic

Main article: Economic: Olvana

Over the last half-century, Olvana has gradually reformed agriculture, foreign trade, foreign investments, and liberalization of prices. 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. However, in recent years, Olvana has renewed its support for state-owned enterprises in sectors it considers important to "economic security”, explicitly looking to foster globally competitive national champions. This reversal of policy began with reining in private decision-making capability and purges in the roles of state-owned enterprises under guise of anti-corruption. Significant policy adjustments are required in order for Olvana to sustain its growth. A major factor is that, historically speaking, transitioning from middle-income to high-income status can be more difficult than moving up from low to middle income.

Social

Main article: Social: Olvana

Olvanese culture spans more than 4,500 years. It was shaped by numerous and varied historical schools of thought: the predominant religion of Hinduism, the Upanishads, Yoga Sutras, the Bhakti movement, and Buddhism. Olvana is notable for its religious diversity, with Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Islam, Christianity, and Jainism among the nation’s major religions. For much of the country’s history, families could obtain social advancement by high performance in the prestigious imperial examinations, and a culture of merit remains greatly valued in Olvana today. Some observers see the period following the establishment of the PRO as a continuation of traditional Olvanese dynastic history, while others claim that the Communist Party's rule damaged the foundations of Olvanese culture, thanks to political movements that destroyed many aspects of traditional culture. Today, the Olvanese Communist Party (OCP) seeks to change some traditional aspects such as rural land tenure, sexism, and the Confucian system of education, while preserving others, such as the family structure and culture of obedience to the state as being integral to society.

Olvana’s information warfare (INFOWAR) capability is highly developed. Olvana utilizes the full range of INFOWAR operations to present a credible peer-level threat.

The ultimate goal is to gain information superiority against the threat, disrupt the threat’s information control capabilities, and maintain and protect its own information systems and capabilities.
