The Commonwealth of Australia of Vancouver Straits is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister John Gorton with a fair hand, and remarkable for its aversion to nipples, daily referendums, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 9.182 billion Australians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Canberra. The average income tax rate is 68.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Australian economy, worth 914 trillion Australian Dollar AUD$s a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 99,636 Australian Dollar AUD$s, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Passionate nomination battles are often as intense as general elections, the government is promoting multicultural values with the new 'Just Be Nice, OK?' initiative, wood-framed catapults are ready to launch diseased corpses into besieged cities, and people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vancouver Straits's national animal is the Kangaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secular.
Vancouver Straits is ranked 187,597th in the world and 229th in Commonwealth of Liberty for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 31,485.2 Standard Monetary Units.
