The Crimson States of Ode Duddis is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Czar Emperor Dave Malvorick with an iron fist, and notable for its smutty television, infamous sell-swords, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 15.078 billion Duddisians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Malvorick Square. The average income tax rate is 86.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Duddisian economy, worth a remarkable 5,042 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 334,440 🔱 Dubloons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Aid workers deliver life-saving supplies with a devious gleam in their eyes, the nation's weary schoolchildren excel at sport but must count scores on their fingers, graffiti is done with immaculate multi-layer shading, and the government has spread itself thin. 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 283,371^st in the world and 677^th in Europe for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -8.49 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
