The Democratic Republic of Odervist is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.753 billion Odervistians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Education, and Spirituality are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.5%.

The very strong Odervistian economy, worth 122 trillion oders a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is 69,837 oders, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 232,444 per year while the poor average 15,635, a ratio of 14.9 to 1.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, outdoor parties in Odervist City are all the rave, and it is a crime to offend someone's religious beliefs. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Odervist's national animal is the hummingbird.

Odervist is ranked 136,003^rd in the world and 261^st in Starlight for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,239.76 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
