1970s. Its first president was Peter Dragonov, a Russian vodka salesman.
Dragonov ran the country well, until liver diseases and overdose of alcohol gave him an early death. The throne was taken by his son, Vokie Dragonov, who did a horrible job ruling and sent the country into a little slice of hell. he died during the revolution, which was lead by Vladimir Vladinovski. The current leader is Vladimir Vladinovski, who is slowly bringing about a Golden Age in Vodka-stonia.

Allies the Kingdom of Clogged Arteries (Trade ally only!)
Military age 16 years
Military Training Harsh physical training starting at age 16 to increase strength dramatically so the troops will be able to carry more of their required supplies. SWAT soldiers, snipers, and ninjas do not require this same training.
A downside of the extreme training is that it takes much longer to get new soldiers out on the battlefield, and military men get arthritis around 30-40 years of age.
