The Republic of Sky Odel is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Manny Mevito with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.289 billion Sky Odelians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Taurian. The average income tax rate is 56.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Sky Odelian economy, worth 97.2 trillion Dollarydoos a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 75,398 Dollarydoos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss, bleach is the nation's most common pesticide, modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes, and building a phallus out of Minecraft blocks counts as indecent exposure. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sky Odel's national animal is the Rock lobster, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Sky Odel is ranked 160,689th in the world and 6,090th in Osiris for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 262.16 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
