The Dictatorship of Odie Dictatorship is a large, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, ubiquitous missile silos, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 50 million Odie Dictatorshipians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Defense, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important, while International Aid and Social Policy are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26.0%.

The thriving Odie Dictatorshipian economy, worth 2.88 trillion Dog Treats a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Gambling. Average income is 57,552 Dog Treats, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 164,892 per year while the poor average 15,986, a ratio of 10.3 to 1.

Research into 'designer babies' is banned, wood-framed catapults are ready to launch diseased corpses into besieged cities, motorists' locations are constantly tracked by intelligence and law enforcement agencies, and women are reassured that they're being oppressed for their own good. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Odie Dictatorship's national animal is the Garfield , which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Odie Dictatorship is ranked 335,460th in the world and 5,235th in the South Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 1.17 quips per hour.
