The District of Oder-Spree is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, frequent executions, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 1.731 billion Oder-Spreeans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Public Transport, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brandenburg. The average income tax rate is 26.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Oder-Spreean economy, worth 46.5 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Uranium Mining, Cheese Exports, Book Publishing, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 26,884 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The only soporific permitted during sermons is the preacher's voice, giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why Leader is a silly poophead, people who have lived their entire lives in Oder-Spree are shocked to discover that they are not citizens, and a major religion has been named as Oder-Spree's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Oder-Spree's national animal is the Germany, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Oder-Spree is ranked 292,838^th in the world and 10^th in Brandenburg for Most Developed, scoring 47.08 on the Human Development Index.
