The Federation of Votareich is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by NRG with an even hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.394 billion Votaians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Konisberg. The average income tax rate is 52.3%.

The all-consuming Votareichian economy, worth 149 trillion Votamarks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is an impressive 107,571 Votamarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

APCs on school runs disgorge kids via assault ramps, UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, incarcerated crime lords manage their empires from massage tables, and only the rich can afford the latest medical innovations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Votareich's national animal is the Texas Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Paradise.

Votareich is ranked 72,780^th in the world and 1^st in WhenItsDone for Most Patriotic, with 22.85 flags saluted per person per day.
