The Crimson States of Ode Duddis is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Czar Emperor Dave Malvorick with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, smutty television, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 15.537 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, well-organized 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 87.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Duddisian economy, worth a remarkable 5,384 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 346,583 🔱 Dubloons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Finders keepers is the law of the land, foreign heads of state have taken out restraining orders against Duddisian ambassadors, the "feminist protest" defence is increasingly common for cases of armed robbery, and wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations". 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 4,113^th in the world and 80^th in Europe for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 9,109.66 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
