Nation/Vuusia

The Democratic Republic of Vuusia is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, infamous sell-swords, and frequent executions. The quiet, industrious population of 233 million Vuusians 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 relatively small government is primarily concerned with Education, with Welfare, Industry, and Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 28.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Vuusian economy, worth 25.4 trillion rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 109,147 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list, billions of rubles are being blown on orbital weapons development, the new coalition government is so large nobody knows where it begins, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Vuusia's national animal is the porpoise, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Vuusia is ranked 62,435th in the world and 2,472nd in the West Pacific for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 7,757.6 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
