The Republic of Vodka Cola is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 13.642 billion Vodka Colans 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 tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 8.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Vodka Colan economy, worth 765 trillion Per milles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. Average income is 56,148 Per milles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, Vodka Cola's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, and the nation's official head of religious affairs is an atheist. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Vodka Cola's national animal is the Blurry.

Vodka Cola is ranked 133,744^th in the world and 2,707^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Patriotic, with 13.39 flags saluted per person per day.
