The Federal Republic of Odiuma is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Kibbles with an iron fist, and notable for its lack of airports, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical population of 4.162 billion Odiumen are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Odiuma City. The average income tax rate is 69.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Odiuman economy, worth 394 trillion samrks a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 94,898 samrks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

A suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League, a niche industry catering to S&M enthusiasts has sprung up, kids learn to count without the numbers '0' or '1', and government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Odiuma's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Kibblism.

Odiuma is ranked 111,472^nd in the world and 257^th in Saint Osmund for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,445.92 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
