The Republic of Vertigoism

“Viva Vertigoism!”

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

The Republic of Vertigoism is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Vert with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 6.62 billion Vertigoes are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, corrupt, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Vertigo. The average income tax rate is 81.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vertigoese economy, worth a remarkable 1,205 trillion Vertigoese guilders a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 182,171 Vertigoese guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation turns a blind eye to human rights abuses in its quest for athletic supremacy, modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes, civil engineers are undermining sinkholes, and the nation is relieved that all of the recent madness has finally come to an end. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vertigoism's national animal is the deer, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Vertigoism is ranked 5,507^th in the world and 177^th in The North Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 158,909.3 Standard Monetary Units.
