“Conquestum ad Felicitatem”

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

The Democratic Republic of Vicinaleneo is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Johnny Joe Jones with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, sprawling nuclear power plants, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 7.436 billion Vicinaleneoans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vineclo 'Zen' City. The average income tax rate is 79.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Vicinaleneoan economy, worth 704 trillion Vineclo Pesos a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,730 Vineclo Pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Women often give birth before they can even get an abortion procedural form, referenda can be called for any law at the request of at least one third of the voting population, dozens of viewers tune in weekly to hear whether a comma has been added to Clause 5 in Subsection B of Law 58375, and viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vicinaleneo's national animal is the cacaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholic.

Vicinaleneo is ranked 14,356^th in the world and 4^th in Vatican for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,269.76 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
