The Liberated Society of Vaspartama is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 4.436 billion Slaves are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.
The tiny, pro-business, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Spirituality, with Environment, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.1%.
The thriving Enslaved economy, worth 283 trillion Rubles a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. Average income is 63,922 Rubles, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 345,268 per year while the poor average 6,133, a ratio of 56.3 to 1.
Foreign spirits are hard to find due to an abundance of "Cletus and Jim Bob's Homemade Enslaved Moonshine", the nation grinds to a halt for afternoon tea, interest in globalism never flags, and Vaspartama has designated Vaspartama City as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Vaspartama's national animal is the Floofy, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Vaspartama is ranked 271,395th in the world and 187th in Africa for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -6.16 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
