The Theocracy of Vanader is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 16 billion Vanaderians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 55.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but underdeveloped Vanaderian economy, worth 576 trillion Shekels a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,037 Shekels, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Harry Potter books are banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vanader's national animal is the Lamb, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Vanader is ranked 147,464th in the world and 1,546th in Artificial Solar System for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,264.7 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
