It is a direct democracy, with a leader-like position called the Foreign Affairs Representative, or F.A.R, who is reelcted every month.

History
Pre-CivClassics
Devoted
Odresh was originally founded on Devoted 3.0, in Spring 2017, by Crusher6581. It quickly endured a revolution resulting in the creation of the RSFSR, a communist group to the south, who remained hostile for the duration of Devoted. Odresh then annexed a nearby city and became a state of the United Federation.
Realms
After Devoted shut down, Pcmas12 and lokilog founded Odresh in Realms. They created a small settlement to the south of their claimed island, and after realizing the existence of a large, abandoned city on the island, Carcosa, they moved their capital there and began to restore the area. It was here that Odresh became friendly with the nation of Hokkaido due to trade.

First Months
When Realms announced that it would be shutting down, the remaining active citizens of Odresh (lokilog, Crusher6581, Pcmas12, and ZiggyCraft102) agreed to merge with Hokkaido to form the nation of Okashima. When Okashima became inactive, these citizens moved to the +,+ quadrant and established the nation of Odresh. It was quickly discovered that another player, Bennyboo, was planning on building a nearby city, so they created the Sozialstaat Agreement, which incorporated the city into Odresh. They annexed the inactive nation of Batavia and claimed most of the land on their continent up to the borders of Maltovia. Their capital, Odresh city, lies on the edge of the coastal cliffs to the south of the nation. As aspiring members of SATO and the NCA, they quickly began a rail project to connect the city to Vinland.
Auroran Independence
As more people arrived to the city of Sozialstaat, it was revealed that it was built by citizens of Aurora, a nation that dates back to CivCraft. Crusher and Lokilog realized that the city was becoming more Auroran than Odreshi, and during discussions with Bennyboo, they Aurorans announced that they wanted to be independent. From here, independence negotiations began, resulting in the full independence of Aurora. Unlike the situation with the RSFSR, the two nations maintain friendly relations.
Phylon Conflict
In December 2018, the first section of the previously mentioned rail to the NCA was completed, going from Odresh City to the nation of Phylon. The F.A.R. at the time, Lokilog, had thought the nation to be inactive, due to it's absence from the claims maps and the fact that many of the city's buildings had been broken into. A few weeks later, a snitch was discovered on the rail near Phylon's station. Upon breaking it, it was discovered that the snitch was placed by OLivay. He was confronted about the situation, and after declaring Phylon to be an active nation, he quickly restricted the city.
Territory
Geography
Mountains
Most of Odresh consists of mountainous terrain, making it hard to cross the territory quickly. To solve this, Lokilog built a series of bridges and footpaths from Odresh City to the Auroran border. It contains two paths to Batavia and there are plans for extensions to Sozialstaat and the desert to the east.
Tundra
To the west, the Batavian tundra forms a large, flat area with sparse trees. There are a few scatted buildings from abandoned civilizations, but lacks any other infrastructure. It's border with both the mountains and sea are defined by tall cliffs, increasing travel times.
Desert
The eastern part of Odresh consists of a vast expanse of desert. As with Batavia, it's border with the mountains consists of cliffs, but is just above sea level, so travel by water is comparatively easy. However, a narrow land bridge means that any travelers by sea must sail around Aurora to reach the desert.
Settlements
Odresh City
As the capital of Odresh, Odresh City is the nation's most active settlement. It has a Community Center and Factory Building, usable by all citizens.
