Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Dictatorship of El Vangardia is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 4.218 billion El Vangardians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 56.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The El Vangardian economy, worth 181 trillion Kores a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Tourism, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 42,967 Kores, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Many aides in Leader's office are known to be serial jaywalkers, the government has adopted a more thrifty attitude to administrating the country's needs, owning a really cute pet is grounds for immediate investigation, and the government has declared "all your rigs are belong to us". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. El Vangardia's national animal is the Anglerfish , which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

El Vangardia is ranked 153,563^rd in the world and 2,926^th in the South Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
