“No one cares about chocolate pudding.”

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

The People's Republic of Vanilla Bill is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 45.647 billion Vanilla Billians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The tiny, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order is also considered important, while Welfare and Education receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.1%.

The very strong Vanilla Billian economy, worth a remarkable 2,140 trillion vanilla beans a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 46,893 vanilla beans, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

The nation refuses to provide international aid, the Navy has outraged the international community by sinking a boatload of refugees to prevent them reaching the shore, the government snoops on private internet connections, and religious classes are compulsory for all school students. Crime is moderate. Vanilla Bill's national animal is the albino lemming, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Vanilla Bill is ranked 1^st in the world and 1^st in Intergalactic Pudding League for Most Beautiful Environments, with zero pounds of wildlife per square mile.
