The Democratic States of Godwadan is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Undergod Anima with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, enslaved workforce, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 20.963 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 88.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Godwadanian economy, worth a remarkable 4,021 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 191,831 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The big red machine has ground to a halt, foreign musicians that Undergod Anima dislikes are turned away at the border, at the edge of the final frontier space's biggest missile platform is about to unfold, and Harry Potter conventions are closely watched by the government for any signs of 'dueling'. 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 330,091^st in the world and 28^th in Merciam for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -21.23 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
