“Violet Vult!”

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

The Republic of Violetist Taduwe is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The cynical population of 7.523 billion Violetist Taduweans 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 medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 26.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Violetist Taduwean economy, worth 176 trillion Violetist dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Soda Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 23,464 Violetist dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients, prisoners can't do number twos without their "toilet buddy" present, Leader has just been declared ruler of Violetist Taduwe in an international press conference, and money is being desperately pumped into the ruined economy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Violetist Taduwe's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Violetist Taduwe is ranked 260,432^nd in the world and 1^st in House of commons committees for Highest Food Quality, scoring 7.17 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
