The United Federation of Odwyerica is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by President with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, infamous sell-swords, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 8.455 billion Odwyericans 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 Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Portumna. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Odwyerican economy, worth a remarkable 1,098 trillion florins a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 129,913 florins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 446,465 per year while the poor average 27,720, a ratio of 16.1 to 1.

Getting an infected tattoo is considered a rite of passage in Odwyerica, East Lebatuckese astronauts' favorite game during downtime on the Multinational Space Station is 'I Spy', the new prison system is crowding up at an alarming rate, and the national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall. Crime is relatively low. Odwyerica's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is stoicism.

Odwyerica is ranked 65,747th in the world and 128th in Commonwealth of Liberty for Safest, scoring 97.05 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
