The United States of Vietmanese is a small, genial nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, daily referendums, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 40 million Vietmaneseans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 12.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Vietmanesean economy, worth 2.00 trillion Vietmamers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 50,048 Vietmamers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
Muggers are complimented on their enterprising spirit, protests are prohibited from blocking traffic, the arms industry has been shut down in a surge of pacifism, and only the fast and the furious are brave enough to drive. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vietmanese's national animal is the Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Vietmanese is ranked 167,997th in the world and 129th in Philosophers for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 58.25 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
