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

The Republic of Vladika is a huge, safe nation, ruled by Smyth with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 959 million Vladikans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vraham. The average income tax rate is 36.4%.

The thriving Vladikan economy, worth 80.4 trillion kronor a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 83,851 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

A light facial coating of soot is seen as the mark of an honest and hardworking man, the state auctions off combat drones to fund war reparations, when the air force says "Black Hawk Down" they mean the feathers of the Vladikan dark-plume goshawk, and holiday gift-giving is often peppered with songs of praise to morally-questionable televangelists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Vladika's national animal is the hedgehog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vladika is ranked 14,758^th in the world and 624^th in The North Pacific for Largest Retail Industry, scoring 8,901.23 on the Shrinkwrap Consignment Productivity Index.
