The Kingdom of Balkan Vojvodina is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by King Nikolas I with a fair hand, and remarkable for its vat-grown people, strictly enforced bedtime, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 6.214 billion Vojvodinians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brunberger. The average income tax rate is 71.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vojvodinian economy, worth 863 trillion Lulkas a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 138,921 Lulkas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The Finance Ministry posts hourly updates on where taxpayer money is spent, 100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past, the fire protection service is wholly government-funded, and a primitive society is being eroded as its youth flock to the modern world. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Balkan Vojvodina's national animal is the Eurasian Beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is None.

Balkan Vojvodina is ranked 3,761^st in the world and 3^rd in New Western Empire for Highest Drug Use, scoring 116.4 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
