The Scandinavian Paradise of Odresher is a massive, genial nation, ruled by William Ugenbeck with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, ritual sacrifices, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 4.862 billion Odresherians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kletpool. The average income tax rate is 66.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Odresherian economy, worth 424 trillion Piddle Poddleses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 87,291 Piddle Poddleses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's a bright dawn ahead for Odresher, money grows on trees, Saturday morning cartoons feature full frontal nudity, and the government regularly publishes lengthy reports on its own excessive recordkeeping. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Odresher's national animal is the Great Auk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Odresher is ranked 66,130^th in the world and 22^nd in Scandinavia for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 2,911.56 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
