The Republic of -Vodka- is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its smutty television, ban on automobiles, and frequent executions. The compassionate, devout population of 1.055 billion -Vodka-ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 52.2%.

The very strong -Vodka-ian economy, worth 64.1 trillion currencies a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,771 currencies, with the richest citizens earning 9.2 times as much as the poorest.

Rural communities are all but disenfranchised as politicians focus all their attention on winning the deciding urban votes, commuters travel in zigzags to avoid stalking accusations, the last thing -Vodka-ian soldiers hear before charging into battle is a preacher trying to convert them, and the new national mascot has to be wheeled onto the field of play. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -Vodka-'s national animal is the animal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

-Vodka- is ranked 54,638^th in the world and 326^th in Izern for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 5,042.49 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
