The Rogue Nation of Oddkast is a large, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, fear of technology, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 155 million Oddkastians 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, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Public Transport. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.7%.

The very strong Oddkastian economy, worth 10.3 trillion Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and dominated by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Pizza Delivery, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 66,486 Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 237,856 per year while the poor average 13,341, a ratio of 17.8 to 1.

All funding starts one dime at a time, celebrity foodies are biting a huge chunk out of the government budget, waste collection professionals have been canned, and disability advocates are not amused that they are told to be dependent on Oddkastians's kindness. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Oddkast's national animal is the Turtlecatt, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Oddkast is ranked 146,669^th in the world and 3^rd in Indy for Most Developed, scoring 55.84 on the Human Development Index.
