The Empire of Omni SHODAN is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its burgeoning Wraith population. The hard-working, democratic population of 3.807 billion Omni SHODANians enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.7%.

The very strong Omni SHODANian economy, worth 223 trillion Credits a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 58,820 Credits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 179,685 per year while the poor average 14,924, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Omni SHODAN's national animal is the Wraith, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Omni SHODAN is ranked 129,817^th in the world and 4,993^rd in Lazarus for Largest Populations, with 3.81 billion capita.
