The Republic of Vodka Dratini is a titanic, orderly nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, cynical population of 13.248 billion citizens enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.2%.

The very strong Vodka Dratini economy, worth 684 trillion vodkas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Trout Farming, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 51,649 vodkas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 152,218 per year while the poor average 13,790, a ratio of 11.0 to 1.

Surveillance cameras are banned, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, and police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds. Crime is a problem. Vodka Dratini's national animal is the dratini, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Vodka Dratini is ranked 263,123^rd in the world and 1^st in Vangmar for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 14.14 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
