The Empire of Vod Tha is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.33 billion Vod Thans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 70.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Vod Than economy, worth 86.0 trillion Marks a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,630 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Advertisements for jobs in the sciences run in fashion magazines, the government has solemnly sworn not to look up other nations' internet browsing history if the favor is returned, major cities are suffering under water rationing, and children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vod Tha's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vod Tha is ranked 9,508^th in the world and 80^th in Europeia for Safest, scoring 121.71 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
