Overview

The Commonwealth of Ollapukkiti was originally founded as a defensive alliance among three nations on the planet Ollapukkiti. In succeeding years, other localities joined the original three. The Ollapukkitian Commonwealth's sovreignty and neutrality have long been honored by the major starpowers, and the government has not been actively involved in any large scale conflicts. The political and economic integration of Delta Quadrant governments into the Hemmoian Federation, as well as the Ollapukkitian Commonwealth's role on the Peace Station and other interstellar organizations, has strengthened the Ollapukkitian Commonwealth's ties with its neighbors. The Ollapukkitian Commonwealth remains active in many interstellar organizations such as the Inter-Stellar Alliance, but retains a strong commitment to neutrality.

Economy

The Ollapukkitian Commonwealth is a peaceful, prosperous, and stable modern market economy with low unemployment, a highly skilled labor force, and a relative per capita GDP larger than that of many big Delta Quadrant economies. The Ollapukkitians in recent years have brought their economic practices largely into conformity with the HFed's to enhance their interstellar competitiveness.
