The Methodist Kingdom of Vodakia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sofiya Lavr with a fair hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 1.098 billion Vodakians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Calgary. The average income tax rate is 40.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Vodakian economy, worth 26.9 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, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Cheese Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 24,505 vodak dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools, it's a miracle that there aren't more plane crashes, seats at the back of the bus are reserved for homosexuals, and prisoners pray grey skies are gonna clear up. Crime 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 230,464^th in the world and 9^th in The Pacific Coast for Most Patriotic, with 6.02 flags saluted per person per day.
