The Sovereign empire of Odezya is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Emperor Nathaniel VII de Vian with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, conspicuous electricity pylons, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 4.279 billion Odezyans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vian. The average income tax rate is 67.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Odezyan economy, worth 655 trillion Auremuses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Soda Sales, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 153,233 Auremuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

The number of judges has tripled in recent months, every workday begins with group therapy, a historic rise in the minimum wage has crushed the economy with inflation, and census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Odezya's national animal is the Heliosan Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Neravism.

Odezya is ranked 256,536^th in the world and 137^th in Albastru for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -4.29 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
