The Dark Star of North Pooch and Vodkaland is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by The Poochmaster with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cheerful population of 21.617 billion Vodkalandians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Poochville. The average income tax rate is 11.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming North Pooch and Vodkalandian economy, worth a remarkable 2,642 trillion Francoes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Gambling. Average income is an impressive 122,259 Francoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Dubiously qualified Skandilundian barristers keep referring to laws as 'government guidelines', polite commuters on the Poochville Metro always let hurried workers off the train first, autopsies often involve only cursory examination, and census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. North Pooch and Vodkaland's national animal is the Pooch, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

North Pooch and Vodkaland is ranked 38,285th in the world and 12th in Lone Wolves United for Most Stationary, with 1,190.81589065512 days.
