Odevia, officially the United Federal States of Odevia (UFSO), is a country in the Southern realms and the second-most populous country in the Wider Realms. Spanning the South-West, Odevia's vast geography is diverse across its 8 federal states. The largest city is Ar Lavo and Johnston is the capital and second-largest city.

Human activity in what is now Odevia has been recorded since the Early era. During the Classic era, the South-Western realms was under the Pacalay Empire sphere of influence. The Radi-Fwani Empire arose in the Middle era and was the most considerable power in the South-West region until the Avenian Empire began its colonization and conquest of Odevia. Odevia was founded as a colonial federation in 1622 as a compromise from the South-West Rebellion. Odevia formally declared independence in 1695.

Odevia is a federal presidential republic, with the president as the head of state. The Odevian Armed Forces are the country's military. Odevia is a multicultural state; most of the population are Indigenous Southern language-speakers, followed by descendants of Avenian settlers, and modern immigrants. Common, the official language, is spoken as native and second language by 34% and 65% of the population respectively (in total 99%), and has become a global lingua franca. Dozens of other languages are spoken natively in Odevia, and there are 7 recognized national languages.

Odevia is a considerable power with a large diversified economy chiefly based in services, followed by industry and agriculture. Odevian culture, music, and films are globally popular in the Wider Realms. Odevia is a founding member of the Organization of Nations and the Democratic League. A democratic state, wealth inequality is a growing issue.
