OverviewPoliciesPeopleGovernmentEconomyRankTrendCards

The Rotten Vale of Vaal Hazak is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its fear of technology, vat-grown people, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.428 billion Vaal Hazakians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Deep Rotten Vale. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Vaal Hazakian economy, worth 318 trillion Scaleses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 131,046 Scaleses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government bureaucrats shut down teenage yard-raking businesses for being counter-revolutionary, organ donation is compulsory, commemoration of the Great Bazelgeuse War costs almost as much as the war itself, and there's sophisticated talk of revolution within the ever-expanding mining colonies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vaal Hazak's national animal is the Vaal Hazak Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Vaal Hazak is ranked 2,610th in the world and 1st in Bazelgeuse for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 98.21 Effective Tax Rate.
