The Kingdom of Odin is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Frigg with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, rampant corporate plagiarism, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.33 billion Asgardians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valhalla. The average income tax rate is 55.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Odinian economy, worth 87.5 trillion pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Automobile Manufacturing, and Gambling. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 26,280 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

When shaking hands with foreign leaders Frigg wears an armoured gauntlet, female newsreaders distract the nation by breastfeeding during broadcast, the name of the "Butcher of Bigtopia" adorns shirts across Odin, and election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Odin's national animal is the Crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Sycophantonism.

Odin is ranked 193,737th in the world and 1,199th in the Plains of Perdition for Highest Poor Incomes, with 21,328.52 Standard Monetary Units.
