The Republic of Votak Matim is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister Lana Hayashi with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, compulsory military service, and avant-garde cinema. The compassionate, cheerful population of 19.625 billion Votaks are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Korin. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Votak economy, worth a remarkable 3,653 trillion Votak kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 186,182 Votak kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool, the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, lifelong celibates are surprised to receive government-issue condoms in the post, and Prime Minister Lana Hayashi reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Votak Matim's national animal is the owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Votak Matim is ranked 307,293rd in the world and 5,878th in The North Pacific for Most Ignorant Citizens, with 0.61 missed references per hour.
