The Crimson States of Ode Duddis is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Czar Emperor Dave Malvorick with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, complete lack of prisons, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 15.387 billion Duddisians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Malvorick Square. The average income tax rate is 86.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Duddisian economy, worth a remarkable 5,305 trillion 🔱 Dubloons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 344,802 🔱 Dubloons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The distracting décor lining the roads causes multiple pile-ups, truancy officers have a hard time catching children trained in advanced camouflage skills, Czar Emperor Dave Malvorick's iHouse is so intelligent that it manages its own social media accounts, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ode Duddis's national animal is the Wolvinte, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Malvorisim🏛️.

Ode Duddis is ranked 4,328^th in the world and 107^th in Europe for Most Developed, scoring 95.46 on the Human Development Index.
