The Democratic States of Godwadan is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Undergod Anima with an even hand, and notable for its triple-decker prams, public floggings, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 15.822 billion Godwadanians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yina. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 77.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Godwadanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,492 trillion francs a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 157,512 francs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 474,667 per year while the poor average 40,749, a ratio of 11.6 to 1.

Welfare recipients are milking the government for all they've got, Godwadanians are fixin' ta comma any way they wanna, international collectors know that a grease-stain on a work of art probably means it's passed through Godwadan, and heretic deviants are free to practice their deviance outside of Godwadan. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Godwadan's national animal is the panther, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Hindu.

Godwadan is ranked 172,543rd in the world and 38th in Merciam for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring zero on the Clooney Contribution Index.
