The County of Owodar is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its national health service, compulsory military service, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 902 million Owodarians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.3%.

The strong Owodarian economy, worth 67.9 trillion Orginan Chervonets a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Automobile Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 75,267 Orginan Chervonets, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 221,822 per year while the poor average 20,096, a ratio of 11.0 to 1.

The local custom of Biking With The Cars sends tourists home bemused or in body-bags, programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours, X-Files ratings have hit an all-time low, and the government raises tariffs on a weekly basis. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Owodar's national animal is the Shoked square toad, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Owodar is ranked 18,279^th in the world and 1^st in Bepis for Safest, scoring 114.25 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
