The Infocratic Union of Visdenburg is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Prime Minister Mr P Enis with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.486 billion Visdenburgians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
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 Visdeny. The average income tax rate is 81.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The thriving Visdenburgian economy, worth 321 trillion Visdenic Pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is 92,170 Visdenic Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The official Visdenburgian Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, counselors diagnose their clients with motherboard complexes, government officials are held to the highest standard of morality, and one-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Visdenburg's national animal is the Grey Seal, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
Visdenburg is ranked 22,953rd in the world and 849th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 87.03 law-abiding acts per hour.
