OverviewFactbookDispatchesPoliciesPeopleGovernmentEconomyRankTrendCards

The Republic of Votak Matim is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Prime Minister Lana Hayashi with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 18.556 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, Healthcare, and Environment. 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 3,470 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 187,032 Votak kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Doctors ask for written consent before making eye contact with patients, Votaks believe manners maketh the leader, men are finding 'she spots' more easily but they can't use them, and school cafeterias serve nothing but protein powder and vitamin supplements. 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 290,238th in the world and 6,330th in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -27.39 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
