The Pseudocyberocracy of Voznesheim is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by 01100001 01110011 01100011 01100101 0110 with an iron fist, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.99 billion Voznesians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Proagopolis. The average income tax rate is 70.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Voznesheimian economy, worth a remarkable 1,003 trillion Bytes a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 125,543 Bytes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

For the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs, '.lib' or '.con' domains indicate whether Voznesheimian websites are meant for liberals or conservatives, the army's use of chemical weapons leaves a bad taste in the mouth, and vacationing Voznesians expect to be treated as royalty. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Voznesheim's national animal is the vortigaunt, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Voznesheim is ranked 24,549th in the world and 1,306th in Balder for Most Cultured, scoring 85 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
