The Republic of VichyFrance is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Howie Filon with a fair hand, and renowned for its national health service, absence of drug laws, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 15.418 billion French hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Industry, with Education, Administration, and Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paris. The average income tax rate is 76.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient French economy, worth a remarkable 5,895 trillion Francs a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 382,374 Francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Voter turnout for the election of the Junior Assistant for Non-Digital Media Strategies has been unsurprisingly low, politicians have tenure, male cubicle workers stand up every time a woman enters the room, and everyone has the equal opportunity to have their wallet stolen. Crime is almost non-existent. VichyFrance's national animal is the Gallic Rooster, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
VichyFrance is ranked 278,495th in the world and 12,185th in Balder for Most Authoritarian, with 198.51 milliStalins.
