The Republic of Vokhomsky is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 969 million Vokhomskyians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 69.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vokhomskyian economy, worth 97.6 trillion Ducats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 100,761 Ducats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The elderly are killed softly with a song, babies are a small but significant export, the jails are alive with the sound of birdsong, and wrongful arrests abound as 'criminals' blame the guy next to them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vokhomsky's national animal is the Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Vokhomsky is ranked 262,285^th in the world and 613^th in Novaya Zemlya for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -5.33 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
