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

The Democratic Republic of Vanamar is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 669 million Vanamarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Canberra. The average income tax rate is 58.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Vanamarian economy, worth 56.9 trillion Debits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is 85,060 Debits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Contemporary art museums showcase the latest in centuries-old art, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, meat-eating is frowned upon, and major cities are suffering under water rationing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vanamar's national animal is the Darivian Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vanamar is ranked 24,186^th in the world and 578^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 251.3 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
