The Dominion of Oddis bay is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, soft-spoken computers, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 6.68 billion Oddis bayians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 24.0%.

The very strong Oddis bayian economy, worth 529 trillion francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 79,329 francs, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

Graffiti graces every city's streets, the government sends submarines to retrieve bodies from shipwrecked submarines, you're only as old as you feel, and the Violetist community celebrates bombshells being dropped on Oddis bay. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Oddis bay's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Oddis bay is ranked 248,905^th in the world and 377^th in Jihad Army of the Emperor for Nicest Citizens, with 1.23 average smiles per day.
