Dodge County is old Florida and rarely visited by tourists. It is flat scrub land and slow-moving rivers, far from the shadows of condominiums, white sand beaches and theme parks. While those who live here struggle mightily to pay their modest rents and to keep their disagreeable jobs, it remains a rugged and raw part of America that still respects its pioneers and treasures its independence. .On the other side of the world lays oil-rich Chechnya, where restless patriots seek to share in the petro riches of its Russian motherland.
