The Allied States of Oodlandia is a very large, genial nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, compulsory military service, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 324 million Oodlandians 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 relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 13.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Oodlandian economy, worth 18.7 trillion Oods a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 57,863 Oods, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Code enforcement officers circle wealthy Oodlandians like vultures, national parks have long lines of different gender-specific 'Porta-Pottys', sweat stains are proof of political acumen, and bored politicians often entertain themselves with games of Simon during important votes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Oodlandia's national animal is the Turtle.

Oodlandia is ranked 197,013^th in the world and 2,736^th in the South Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 9.4 Obesity Rate.
