The Incorporated States of Odession is a small, cultured nation, remarkable for its digital currency, frequent executions, and national health service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 40 million Odessionians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.3%.

The very strong Odessionian economy, worth 3.41 trillion Odors a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 85,295 Odors, with the richest citizens earning 8.5 times as much as the poorest.

Defense lawyers suggestively note to juries how flagrantly happy victims were, school nurse's offices feature full-service operating suites, orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents, and that which doesn't kill you can get you de-platformed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Odession's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Odession is ranked 249,743^rd in the world and 172^nd in Corsair for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
