“We All Walk Alone Together...”

The Capitalist Oligarchy of Gronda Voddia is a massive, pleasant nation, notable for its burgeoning peach faced love bird population. Its compassionate population of 1.699 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government concentrates mainly on Law & Order, although Defence and Religion & Spirituality are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 30%, but much higher for the wealthy. A robust private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing, Gambling, and Retail industries.

Postmen have been arrested in job lots for selling junk mail as home insulation, major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, and students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is moderate. Gronda Voddia's national animal is the peach faced love bird, and its currency is the Gronda.

Gronda Voddia is ranked 13th in the region and 39,595th in the world for Most Godforsaken.
