The Sovereign empire of Odezya is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Nathaniel VII de Vian with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 4.168 billion Odezyans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vian. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Odezyan economy, worth 638 trillion Auremuses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Soda Sales, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 153,220 Auremuses, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

Odezya's soft-touch approach to diplomacy has made it known as the 'push-over' of the region, referenda are held for every conceivable government action, the tenet of free speech is held dear, and the poorest Odezyans live in 'the stacks'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Odezya's national animal is the Heliosan Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Odezya is ranked 152,799^th in the world and 13^th in Albastru for Largest Populations, with 4.17 billion capita.
