The Republic of Oderom is a huge, genial nation, ruled by Loginian II with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 925 million Oderomians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Folk Valley. The average income tax rate is 58.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Oderomian economy, worth 51.0 trillion Doge coins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 55,185 Doge coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The tax agency is feared more than serial killers and terrorists, metal detectors have been banned after a bottle cap caused a riot at the beach, battlefield gains are quickly lost when enemies don't respect a time-out, and finders keepers is the law of the land. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oderom's national animal is the Monke, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Oderom is ranked 161,081^st in the world and 17^th in True Duck people for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 7,706.13 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
