The State of Odaoua is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 16.554 billion Odaouans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.6%.

The thriving Odaouan economy, worth a remarkable 1,256 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is 75,885 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 268,612 per year while the poor average 15,479, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

The nation's official head of religious affairs is an atheist, Odaoua has designated Westminster as its capital city, the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Odaoua in an international press conference. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Odaoua's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Odaoua is ranked 263,875^th in the world and 1^st in Pure Michigan for Lowest Crime Rates, with 42.87 law-abiding acts per hour.
