The Mother Tree of Oadenwood is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by DeOad the Great Druid with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, daily referendums, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, devout population of 19.822 billion Oadenwoodites are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, although Welfare, Administration, and Law & Order are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Grove. The average income tax rate is 37.6%.

The strong Oadenwoodian economy, worth a remarkable 1,329 trillion quid a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Retail, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 67,060 quid, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Modesty is treated with the side-eye, whenever pilots have to bail out the government bails out their company, sailors spend their shore leave helping old ladies cross the street, and organ donation is compulsory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oadenwood's national animal is the elk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Druidry.

Oadenwood is ranked 99,041^st in the world and 8^th in Freshness for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 939.8 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
