Belarus is the largest manufacturer of home-made vodka in the Known World. Traffic of vodka extends in all 11 directions. Byelorussians have so many orders for their vodka, that, in fact, they build homes expressly to produce vodka: to make it real home-made and... unique. Some people actually leave their homes because their homes are crowded with vodka apparatus. You can see many of those people sleeping in the street. However, don't be fooled; they're not homeless, they're very rich, because their entire house has been turned into a business!
