The Methodist Kingdom of Vodakia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Tsarina Sofiya Lavr with an even hand, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, state-planned economy, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed population of 4.099 billion Vodakians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Calgary. The average income tax rate is 43.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Vodakian economy, worth 97.8 trillion vodak dollars 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 a slick, highly efficient black market in Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Pizza Delivery. 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 23,864 vodak dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Relatives of recent award winners find their trophies make stylish urns, the nation's diplomatic missives are now delivered via sniper rifle, quiet professionalism has returned to the nation's armed forces, and religious people are committed to mental institutions for treatment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vodakia's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Methodism.

Vodakia is ranked 85,691^st in the world and 2^nd in The Sliver Coast for Largest Black Market, with 3.59 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
