The Holy Empire of The Vangards of Discourse is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Heap Big Boss with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 22.111 billion Vangards of Discourseans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 97.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Vangards of Discoursean economy, worth a remarkable 2,639 trillion Vanfulersens a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an impressive 119,371 Vanfulersens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found, a recent political speech drew the ire of nerds everywhere after the speaker claimed that Darth Vader was Harry Potter's father, and orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Vangards of Discourse's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
The Vangards of Discourse is ranked 7,653rd in the world and 195th in the South Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 134 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
