“Please do not step on the chipmunks.”

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

The Dictatorship of Vandalia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its restrictive gun laws and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 23.048 billion Vandalians 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 large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Public Transport, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 44.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Vandalian economy, worth 74.7 trillion Pelts a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 3,239 Pelts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elections have been outlawed. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vandalia's national animal is the puma.

Vandalia is ranked 170,791^st in the world and 8^th in Kentucky for Largest Retail Industry, scoring zero on the Shrinkwrap Consignment Productivity Index.
