The Democratic States of Godwadan is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Undergod Anima with an iron fist, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, public floggings, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 21.06 billion Godwadanians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yina. The average income tax rate is 90.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Godwadanian economy, worth a remarkable 3,981 trillion francs 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Retail, Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. 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 an impressive 189,063 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Suburban backyards are seized by the government and turned into national parks, sexuality-questioning teenagers are placed in locked rooms with dirty magazines and lewd posters, dealers go from pushing drugs to pushing up daisies, and garbage is told to go back to where it came from. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Godwadan's national animal is the panther, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Hindu.

Godwadan is ranked 1,031^st in the world and 1^st in Merciam for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 21,532.07 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
